Sleep, what's that??

Teeth....something that I really dislike at the moment. Why you ask?? Well Avery has been teething now for three months and there is NOTHING to show for it. The last two weeks have been a nightmare. She's not sleeping, and she's waking up every hour or other hour. It's really made my life a crazy world. I'm just waiting for those pearly whites to pop on out and say hello. I wish they would hurry!

Teething...ROUND TWO

I know all children are different BUT... most sources (i.e. friends, books, etc) say that the first round of teething is supposed to be the worst. Well I say that's HOGWASH. Aiden is getting some back teeth on top and it has been a nightmare for the last several days. He's been in so much pain, chewing on whatever he can get stuffed into his mouth. My heart hurts to see him like this, so I wish the little white devils would come in already.

Side note: It's going to be pretty interesting to see what he looks like once they do all come in because he has so many teeth on the top and only two on the bottom....picture that!

An Amused Aiden

So yesterday, Aiden kept himself amused in the most interesting ways. For example, first, I look over in the kitchen and he's taken several jars of baby food from his cabinet and he's rolling them around the floor all while cracking up every time one rolls away from him. It was just hysterical.

Then later on, I look over and he sitting at the baby gate pokinig his fingers through the holes and each time he does this, again, he cracks up at himself. What a goofball. It's definitely a better mood than he's been in lately. He's cutting two upper back teeth so he's been a little crabby.

He's not so crabby here....amusing himself some more with his cool shades!

A little later in the evening he continued to keep himself amused...what a silly boy.

They grow SO Fast!

Well...he's crawling now...not your standard crawl but the army crawl. It's actually pretty funny to watch him, but gosh is he FAST! I will turn away for a second and when I look back, he's across the room, tangled in some cord (he loves those too) or reaching for the dog's bowl.

I headed to Target on Saturday to get some things I needed and I finally used my last gift card from the baby shower to buy Aiden some toys (thanks Karm). I looked for the Fisher Price Peek-A-Boo blocks but I couldn't find them so I ended up buying the Roll A Rounds. They are great toys, but couldn't be any more inconvenient for a mommy who "tries" to keep her house somewhat organized and clean. PLUS as soon as I pour the package of them on the ground they all roll away from Aiden under some piece of furniture. Aiden is left there sitting with maybe one of them in his hand.

Aiden now has both of this front bottom teeth. We had a few rough weeks with teething. It started to get better, but now he's getting three, YES THREE up top now. Poor little fella...hopefully they will come in quickly!

1 down, 19 to go!

YAY....Aiden's first tooth has arrived! It's barely cut the gum but Luke and I are very excited none the less! All the fussing is finally paying off. Hopefully it will be a speedy process!

Teething

UGG...it's begun. The gnawing and chewing on everything, the drooling, the contstant whining and worst of all, the screaming at bedtime. I guess I really didn't think it was going to be THIS bad. Aiden has been such a great (and when I say great I mean REALLY wonderful) baby and now we've hit a bump. With a little help (Oragel, Motrin and teething tablets) well get through it. There's no pearly white poking through yet, but I'm eagerly anticipating it's arrival. We gave him a teeching biscuit the other day and he tore it up...
