52:39 Brushing Your Teeth

Brushing Your Teeth

I want to remember the first time we brushed your teeth. I remember my dentist reminding me that as soon as you got teeth, I needed to start protecting them. I pray you have your Daddy's teeth because he still has no cavities! I cannot say the same about me. Not even close actually! So I will work hard to try to protect those precious teeth of yours! 

Teeth are Scary!
So I am going to be brutally honest here. Annie was attempting to crawl on the wood floor the other day and she slipped and her face and teeth went right into the floor. I am still cringing as I write this because it sounds so awful. I was crying, she was crying and I literally felt like the worse mother in the World. Lucky for me she only cried for a few minutes until I gave her my boob and started singing Bob Marley's "Every Little Thing." And Boom, she was fine!  
But then, I did the worse thing possible that night and "googled" what happens if new teeth get hurt. I read terrible things, so don't do that - brown teeth, teeth rotting, teeth falling out, oh my! 

But now that some time passed I know that her teeth are going to be just fine. I guess I am writing this to remind myself, and all those other mommies reading this, that accidents do happen. They are still awful, scary and sucky. But they happen. And they are no one persons fault. So here is to all those mommies who comfort and the kiddos who cry. 
Don't you worry, about a thing, because every little thing, is gonna be alright. 

52: 38 The Week Everything Changed

The Week Everything Changed

I want to remember our spring break week. It was the week everything changed for you! I have been looking forward to this vacation week for us for so long. We were going to have a Girl's Week with Gracie, but at the last minute we found out that your Auntie Rachel and her four kiddos and Grandpa Rick were coming to visit us from Washington! I was so excited for your to hang out with all your cousins and see little Quincy again. He is quite active and I figured he would encourage you to want to crawl too. 

Below are some pics from our week:

You helped with the household chores. You LOVE playing with fresh, warm clothes!

We played with a lot of games and toys. 

All your cousins, Auntie Rachel, Auntie Jennifer, and Grandpa Knob came to visit for the week. 

You went to American Girl this week with Gracie for girl's day. I think you are just as obsessed as we were. Tea party, desserts, and playing with dolls. 

You got FIVE teeth this week. Yes, FIVE! For a total of 6 teethers now. Four on top and two on bottom! 

You finally crawled for the first time on your 9 Month birthday!
