8th tooth





July 3, 2007. My little monster's 8th tooth FINALLY popped through. His little gums look like ground beef they're so red and inflamed. Couldn't you just kiss the person that made infants Motrin and Hylands teething tabs???? They are the miracle cure. Poor baby has just been really pissy and fussy the past couple of days. Now at least we know why right??
AJ thoroughly enjoyed the firework display kindly set off by our neighbors last night. He loves watching the pretty colors and they actually gave us a sparkler so AJ could watch. I let AJ hold the end of the stick with me holding it too of course. He did really well. The fireworks up the road went for about 3 hours. They were beautiful. AJ did well sleeping through it all. I finally put him to bed around 10pm. I didn't know how that was going to work but thank goodness for humidifiers and their white noise huh??? Happy Birthday America the Beautiful and thank you God for allowing us to live in a country where we can worship you on any given day/hour/muinute without persecution. Thank you to the many men and women that fight for our freedom and safety on a daily basis. Without you and your sacrificing families, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the freedoms we so greatly take for granted. Love you all, Shannon

I'm so glad to hear that AJ liked the fireworks. Friends of ours have Tristian, an 11 month old and he did not like the fireworks at all. I should say, he didn't like the noise.

Baby Motrin is God's gift to toddlers! I was so excited when Wesley turned 6-months so we could give it to him! Baby Tylenol does diddly-squat. Glad you guys enjoyed the fireworks! We have a tradition of going to the beach to see fireworks, but it scared me to death this time having Wesley be so mobile around all the displays up and down the beach. I spent the whole time saying, "Wes, stay close to Mommy!" Congrats, AJ, on the 8th tooth! You're such a good mom, Shannon... I never could keep track of how many teeth Wesley had at any given time.
