8 months old and double ear infection

Day we found out he had the double ear infection.

I'm only 2 days behind but Tabor turned 8 months old on Thursday. He woke up at 1:45 am Thursday morning just crying his little heart out. He didn't go back to sleep and neither did I. It's not normal for him to wake up crying and not go back to sleep. Something with his crying and how he was acting didn't seem right. I thought maybe it was a ear infection or a sore throat. He woke up with a small cold on Saturday. I called my mom at 5:30 am(she was not awake)to ask her what to do and she said it sounds like a ear infection. I then called my mother in law at 6 am. She was awake and is a early riser. I told her what was going on since Tabor was supposed to go visit at her house. She said the same thing, sounds like a ear infection. I had my mom take him to his doctor and turns they were right. He had a double ear infection.
