Quick update

My grandfather passed away last week. The mama Ali and I went to NY to attend the funeral, but we left the baby behind. I'm not paying for his own seat and he's too active for a lap in coach. Just a few observations and then I'll move on.

1. I happened to wearing the same color suit as my grandfather. That was weird.
2. The driver of the hearse took the HOV lane to the burial. He may have been following the letter of the law about 2 people, but he wasn't following the spirit of the law.
3. According to the thermometer it was about 35 degrees at the burial. Apparently 35 degrees in NY is colder than 35 degrees in FL.
4. I grew up in NY. Apparently they wanted to remind me of my childhood because several of the bridges had not been maintained in anyway since my childhood. It appeared that the whitestone bridge was still standing only by force of habit and the strength of rust.

The baby spent the time with my in laws. I really appreciate my in laws. Jordan can pretty much out run them and their doorknobs are latches, so he can go into any room he wants. They sound like they tell Jordan to stay out of the bathroom, but sometimes it sounds more like a request. Plus, he's doing something new now that he didn't do before. He's starting to climb. Yesterday he kept himself happy by knocking over his stroller and climbing into it. He also climbs up on people when he wants the lap. We are working on getting him to stop, but it's a process.

He went to the doctor's office on Thursday. He had a lot of earwax in the ear that was previously infected. A year ago I didn't know that cotton swabs were a bad idea, but now we know. We used a solution that breaks up the wax so he's better, but the pediatrician refferred us to a specialist. Other than that however, we don't have any doctors visits scheduled until after his birthday in July!
