Tales of Teeth and the Crib

OMW, Timmy has his four front teeth now. He got three of them in a matter of a couple of weeks. He has learned to grit his teeth....ugh. It sounds like finger nails on a chalk board and send chills up my spine...lol.

Anyhow, that's not the only interesting thing he's learned. He has been pulling up on things for weeks but he hadn't tried doing it in his crib yet which has been a blessing. We made it almost nine months without having to take down the mobile over his crib or having to lower the mattress but now it's time. We have had to baby proof the crib. We've had to take it from it's corner position and put it against the wall. We're putting a couple of body pillows on the floor just in case he figures out how to climb out...lol. We've lowered the mattress and removed his mobile. I will post some pictures of how we found him this morning later so you will know why we've had to do what we've done.

The little booger is getting so active now. He's not crawling yet but he sure finds a way to get to where he wants to go and get to whatever it is that he wants...lol.

I'll post some pictures later of how we found him this morning and if I can snap a picture of his four teeth I'll post it too.

Timmy's Favorite Toys

We took these on January 31st. As many toys as Timmy has you'd think that one of them would be his favorite but these are what he loves to play with the most. Go figure?!

"The Hammer" and a screwdriver.

A back scratcher and Q-tip box.

Bath Time with My Fireduck Spout Cover

Timmy loves bath time. He especially loves playing with his fireduck just before getting out. His Dada makes Quack Quack noises at him as he plays with it. Enjoy the pics.

"Look the ducks hat moves."

"So you like it when I stick out my tongue?!"

"How about when I show you my bottom teeth?"

Johnny Jump Up

Here's a couple of pics of Timmy's first time in his Johnny Jump Up. I placed a musical mat under his feet so when he jumped it would play.

"Hmmmm, I'm not sure what to think of this thing?!"

"I'm tired of this now Mama and I want out."

Driving Suit

Uncle Jeff, Aunt Debbie, and Cousin Corey got Timmy a driving suit for Christmas and he wore it for the first time today. He looked so cute in it that we had to take some pictures for everyone to see.

"DaDa and I looking cute for the camera."

"I'm having so much fun. This driving suit sure it comfy."

"MaMa says we are her two handsome men."

"I'm ready to drive now so where's my car?"

Snow and Teething

It's hard to believe that we had so much snow the other day. It is all melting away now. The roads are clear and most of the snow in our yard has melted except what is in the back of our house and that's only because the sun hardly shines back there. I hope we see more of the white fluffy stuff before the winter is over.

As you all know, Timmy got his second tooth this week. Well, we noticed last night that his top two front teeth are also coming in. Timmy's been such a bear the past few days that I knew it was more than just that one tooth. When I saw last night that his upper two were coming in I knew why he had been such a bear. I'd be fussy too if I had that much pain going on in my mouth at one time. Thank God for Motrin though because it takes the edge off the pain. I wish it took it all away. I hate that he's in pain and I can't take it away:-( but the up side to it all is that he will soon have four teeth. It will be cool if they are all in good enough for when we do his 9 month milestone pictures.

2nd Tooth

Timmy has been a bear for a couple of days now and he finally cut his second tooth tonight. I was so glad to see it cut through his gums. Now he has two bottom teeth. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!! It will probably be a while before I'm able to post a picture of his new tooth. I'm so proud of him because even though he was a bear with cutting this tooth it was nothing like it was with the first tooth. Scot and I lost sleep when he was cutting his first tooth. We were better prepared this time around and knew what to do to help him sleep while cutting this tooth. Motrin is a wonderful thing. I'm not big on giving kids drugs but to keep my sanity, help his pain, and help him sleep I'll give him the Motrin. Tylenol doesn't touch the pain but Motrin does. The only bad thing is that babies have to be at least 6 months old to be able to take the Motrin. I feel for the moms with babies cutting teeth at three months old and all they can give them is Tylenol. Praise God that Timmy didn't cut his first tooth until he was almost seven months old. Anyhow, I just thought you would might want to know about his second tooth. Talk at ya later.

Timmy finding out what snow feels like

"Wow, it's fluffy and cold"

"Let's see if it's any less cold this time."

"Nope. It's still pretty cold."

Removing ice from HVAC unit

"This is ice! It's what happens to water when it gets too cold."

Charlie, big dog, and Dexter, little dog, had fun in the snow today.

"Hey Charlie this white stuffs pretty good. It tastes better than the stuff in the white bowl."

"Charlie I told you not to eat the yellow snow."
