Our Family of 4

Whewwww!!! 3 Months Already!

2009-12-09T16:49:00.007-05:00

We honestly can't believe Jaidyn is 3 months old and Spence turns 20 months tomorrow. Someone asked me the other day, at what point do you stop using "months" in referring to their age and start using "years", and why? I told them, for me, I was NOT ready to make that transition yet, b/c I felt like if I could still say months, then I still felt like he was still my baby boy. The other just makes them seem bigger and older. Spence's day is coming, and coming soon, but until then I will still consider him my baby boy. We've had so much fun and as each day passes things get easier and easier. I also realize more and more that those two are going to be big buddies. Don't get me wrong, we still have our meltdown moments, but in the end he knows his momma loves him just the same:)

2 Months Old

2009-11-09T14:19:00.006-05:00

Our sweet baby girl is now 2 months old and is doing great. Spencer and I took Jaidyn and Spence to the pediatrician Friday for vaccinations and checkups. It was a little crazy, but everyone survived. Jaidyn weighs 12 lbs 1 oz and is in the 72 % of weight. She is 24 1/4 in. long and is in the 93 % in height. (I still think she was suppose to be Alisha's baby!!) We are so excited for her and the only thing she is suffering from due to vaccines is a little stuffy nose. This was a complete opposite check up compared to when we took Spence at this age. He was down below the 10th percentile and we were beginning to be a little concerned, so this was nice for us to here for her check up.

Spence on the other hand was not able to get any vaccines and ended up leaving the doctors office with an ear infection, wheezing, and beginning to start a fever. Although he weighs 29 1/2 pounds, which was in the 86%, it is still sad when your kid won't eat. His height was 34 1/4 and that checked out in the 88 %. By Saturday afternoon he had 104 temp and vomitting. Not a good weekend for the little man. He was put on antibiotics, motrin/tylenol, and breathing treatments. The treatments were a different experience for him, but like everything else, he is adjusting well. Hopefully we won't have to do them much longer. On top of all this, Sunday was suppose to be Jaidyn's baby dedication, which we had to cancel. It was a long weekend, but Spence is slowly getting better and we are praying everyday that Jaidyn stays healthy.

Halloween Fun in the Rain

2009-11-02T18:25:00.004-05:00

Although we never had a dry minute for trick-o-treating, it was still a very fun night to take Spence out on the town. He loved every second of all the attention he was getting from everyone! I must say though, his favorite part of the night was not all the candy, but getting to sit on the fire truck. We saw the fire truck at the town square, but did not stay there long. It was a little much for mama and I was ready to head out of town to do some traditional house-to-house treating. It was much nicer and the candy was better too. Jaidyn was a trooper too and pretty much slept through her first halloween. But she was still the cutest lady bug out there!

Trip To Memphis

2009-10-26T14:40:00.008-04:00

I must say we have the best kiddos in the world. We took an 8 hour trip to Memphis (one way) there and 8 back, and they did great. We only had to watch Barney 4 times...one way! And 3 on the way back home. Oh well. You learn quick as parents that whatever makes your kid smile and happy on a long road trip, you will do. It's funny though that as you try to plan around "nap time", when it came time for him to go to sleep...uh no. He only took a 30 minute nap!

We had a great time visiting family and anyone would love seeing your grandfather holding a precious little baby and an energetic boy hanging off the side of him. Granddaddy was a trooper and we got to see him for a couple of days while we were there. We also went over to my aunt Carol's house to visit with my cousin and her daughter, Hollynn. She was the one who stayed with us over the summer break while her mom went through surgery. It was a nice visit and so good to see them. They were in desperate need of cheering up and there's nothing better than a newborn baby to do that. Spence and Jaidyn had a great time and brought lots of smiles and laughter to the room. It was a much needed trip for us and we packed more into one day than we ever imagined possible, but well worth it. We loved seeing aunt MaryJane and we appreciate the generosity of my aunt Bev and uncle Frank letting us stay with them. It was so nice to have the opportunity to see all of my family.

Football Time In Tennessee!

2009-10-12T08:50:00.003-04:00

Although our season has not been the best, it still feels good to beat Geogia, and actually witness it in person. I get to celebrate for a WHOLE YEAR!!! Spencer and I went to the game Saturday and I went with feelings of anxiety and nervousness for the vols, especially after they got beat by Auburn last weekend, at home. They played the best they have played all season on Saturday and I believe Georgia played the worst from all season. It was as you can see in Spencer's face, not a good day for Uga. It was "uga-ly" for the bulldogs, but I must say we enjoyed our time together and loved being in that football atmosphere again.

Jaidyn is 1 Month Old

2009-10-06T16:26:00.005-04:00

Who needs to be in the jungle for a month, when I can star in my own "Survivor" show right here in my own house. We have made it and still happily chugging along together. I've survived 1 crazy month, but more importantly, my two beautiful children are still alive and kickin'. It's seriously been a wonderful month of baby bliss and big brother Spence is hanging in there. He loves his little sis, but right now playing outside still comes first! I'm still trying to get on that thing called a "routine", but haven't quite made yet. However, Jaidyn is doing great and growing more and more everyday. She is starting to smile a lot and lets me know when she need some attention. We have finally gotten our results back from all of her extra testing and she has passed everyone of them. We are excited and feel very blessed to have such a healthy baby girl, but have considered now calling her "Mo" due to the fact she's losing her hair, except that cute little streak down the center. And don't forget the curl on top!

Welcome Baby Jaidyn

2009-09-23T15:53:00.006-04:00

We have finally gotten Miss. Jaidyn Leigh home and settled into her new enviroment. She is now 3 weeks old and the time passes unbelievably fast. Honestly, my initial thought was that once Spencer went back to work, the days would be long, exhausting, and slow. What was I thinking?

We are so grateful to everyone for all you did to help us with Spence and for bringing food. All of the meals have been very delicious and Spence quickly went back into his normal routine. We also appreciate the phone calls and visits. The meals have all been very delicious. It really helped us make the transition easier from one child to now two. Spencer decided to take the first week off that we brought her home, and we were both so grateful for that. Although Spence has done really well, it allowed Spencer the chance to give him the extra attention that he needed. We have really enjoyed watching Spence with Jaidyn and seeing his curiousity unfold. We are, however, praying that she won't lose an eye or come out of her chair one day. He has to be watched VERY closely and at all times. At this point, all is well and both continue to change everyday and grow too fast. I can see now that we are going to have lots of fun!

The Ellijay Fair and My Garden

2009-08-23T18:33:00.011-04:00

We are still waiting for this little girl to join us and have been trying to do lots of motivating things to initiate labor, but no go. Even taking Spence to the fair and riding some rides didn't work! It was still worth going though because he had a blast. It was so fun for Spencer and I to watch him and see his face light up and have looks of amazement watching all the rides. He rode the choo choo train, the airplanes, carousel, went down the big slide with daddy, and lots more. He even watched his mom shoot basketball to win an Uga. Yes, an Uga. For those of you not sure who Uga is... it is the Georgia mascot. Unbelievable huh. The things you do for your kids, but trust me there will be a Smokey joining him soon:) We had a great time!

We've also been busy playing ball outside, messing around in the flower garden, and Spence has even helped me with my garden decor to make a garden stone. It was fun to do this project with him. This year has been better than previous ones, however, I still don't have that green thumb like my mom. I wish I did, but every year gets a little better. I will definitely miss those beautiful flowers blooming as winter slowly approaches. Winter...can you believe it?

Ready for number 2!

2009-08-16T16:19:00.004-04:00

At this point we are just at that sit and wait point that just about can drive you crazy! The wait part is what it is, but let's be real, I'm doing anything but sitting. This baby girl will be here anytime and I find myself continually thinking of things I need to do to be overly ready. If she did come, yes, we're ready, but having laundry caught up, the house clean, the nursery and Spence's new room as organized as possible, bags packed for the hospital, camara's ready and charged, okay you get my point. OVERLY READY! It doesn't hurt.

We are also in the process of moving the dental practice to a new building. I will post pics as soon as the office is complete. It's very exciting and to be honest we are really glad she decided not to come this past weekend. Spencer has been working extremely hard to get as much done as he can and it looks as if we could definitely open the office back up on Tuesday. Very exciting for both of us and it really looks good.

Some additional thoughts I would like to share about this pregnancy as we know the BIG DAY approaches us soon...

Not finding out your pregnant until 10 weeks into it is fabulous and this pregnancy has absolutely flown by

I've really enjoyed this pregnancy and have been amazed at how different it was from carrying Spence, COMPLETELY DIFFFERENT, but not having to go to the specialist every 2 weeks and the OB once a month sure did help

The upside...she moved a lot and I truly enjoyed every second of it, she just started having the hiccups 2 weeks ago, I gained plenty of weight and swelled, but not as much as before, I have the nursery ready and getting even more excited to have a girl on the way

The downside...these early contractions are NOT friendly and the physical pain they cause is very scary, I can cry over just about anything at this point and being an emotional person is not for me, losing lots of sleep, nothing fits this body anymore!!

Anxiety level is rising everyday thinking about having two kids 16 months apart, but the excitement level is beyond imaginable

Working until 36 weeks was great for me and I loved every second of it. We have a wonderful team down there and great patients. They have all been very understanding and supportive, especially towards the end when I moved a little bit slower

One thing I've learned about myself that I hope will make me a better mom is knowing my limitations, it's never easy for me to stop and say "I'm done", but finding out after it's too late isn't fun either. My goal is to know before.

Praying for a smooth delivery and healthy baby girl, praying the (+) Strep B will not cause any complications for the baby or myself, and praying we don't go into labor in the middle of the night!

Let me just quickly share one more thing. Spence is an absolute gift from God. I don't know how we got so lucky, and trust me Spencer and I ask ourselves that question everyday, but there is not a day that passes that we don't thank our Heavenly Father for that special child that belongs to us. We know he's going to be a great BIG brother, and in time, we will all adjust to adding another precious miracle to our family. Our Sunday School teacher quoted Charles Swindoll the other day and man it really stuck with me. "EXPECT NOTHING, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING." So simple, yet so true with everything in life.

Spending time with cousin Hollynn

2009-08-15T17:12:00.002-04:00

What can I say, but it was sooo nice to have Hollynn here to stay with us a bit this summer. Sometimes I felt like I had my own personal nanny right there beside me at all times, and I know Spence really enjoyed seeing a new face around the house. She entertained him and he entertained all of us! It's amazing that even a 15 month old wants to show out in front of house visitors.

Of course we stayed busy the entire visit, but we were very productive. We got a pedicure, her hair cut, her teeth cleaned and filled, went swimming, went shopping at Justice ( that was a new adventure for myself), and went to American Girl Doll Boutique at the mall, another new adventure for me and NO ONE IS TO TELL OUR DAUGHTER ABOUT THIS PLACE, and she came to work with me a couple of days! It was a hard time, but we managed :) We truly enjoyed having her stay with us and miss her very much. Thanks Hollynn for all your help with our little man! We love you.

Summer Fun!

2009-07-13T13:19:00.012-04:00

What a busy, busy summer for this little man. I've posted some of our favorite pics from some of our favorite outings. He's changed so much since his first birthday and I'm learning a lot about this amazing person. We are loving spending every minute with him and waiting to see what he's going to do next. And just so you know, he's finally getting his "tude". He is very normal and has his little, or big, tantrums when he feels like it. Sometimes I can't help but laugh at him. Oh well.

Better Late Than Never

2009-07-07T18:32:00.004-04:00

We really love sharing new pics of Spence and our family adventures, so hold on tight b/c there is a lot of catching up to do for us. There will be more to come... I promise!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!

2009-04-10T07:54:00.021-04:00

What a great journey this past year has been! He has changed our life in all aspects and helped to make us better people. This past year has flown by and as I look back and I'm more grateful than ever to have this little person in our lives. I couldn't imagine life without him and I know how blessed we are and what a precious gift God has graciously given us.

2009-03-05T16:39:00.004-05:00

We've been teaching Spence lots of new stuff this month, but this has to be one of the funnest for me. He now tries to turn on his own without me telling him to "turn around", but sometimes he needs a little more instruction. Lately, he has been "turning" way too early. It's pretty funny. It really didn't take him long to learn, and he gets so excited everytime he gets the chance to go up or down the stairs. He is so adventurous, curious, and sometimes stubborn. Can they really be stubborn at 11 months old?

We are also trying to teach him "No".

"No, Spence. That's Buddy's food."
"No, Spence. That's Buddy's water."
"No, Spence. That's Buddy's room." (laundry room)
"No, Spence. That's the potty. We don't play in the potty."
"No, Spence. We don't throw our food on the floor to feed Buddy."
"No, Spence. Don't eat that!"

I must say, he's doing pretty good with all the "no's", but usually it takes several at a time. I guess this is normal??? We are having fun though and try to let him be as adventurous as we can and keeping it in safe relms. He, like most, tries to push the limits. How do they learn this so early? Natural instinct I guess.

Walking, well, let's just say, he's getting pretty lazy with trying that. I have to really motivate him to move on his feet instead of his knees, but I know it will come. I can see in his eyes that he wishes he could move as fast as I do, but he's a speed demon on those knees.

Here We Go Again!

2009-02-26T10:57:00.005-05:00

Reality is finally setting in for me, and the excitement. I guess it's about time, considering I'm already over 3 months now. Time flies and this has been pretty crazy. The baby is so big, and again they tell me, VERY ACTIVE. We've had two ultrasounds, and both of them showed the baby wiggling, waving, and moving all around. Babies are truly a gift from God and I could sit there for hours just watching in amazement, thinking I still can't believe that little thing is inside me. We have lots to look forward to, and lots to get ready for. It looks like Spence is going to have a new room sooner than we thought, but I'm sure he will adjust fine. He's going to be the best big brother.

The appointments all went very well, except for Spence getting very upset during our first U/S when he saw the lights go off, I layed down on the table, and all of a sudden this lady is doing weird things to mama. He was very confused and VERY upset until I sat up and the lights came back on. Needless to say, my second U/S was great and Dr. Barrett spent a lot of time with me explaining things. Both, the baby and myself, are doing great right now.

Again, our family is very excited about the baby and know the Lord had a different plan in mind for our life. It's been a miraculous blessing and we look forward to sharing this experience once again with all of our family and friends.

Celebrating 30 in NYC!

2009-02-18T11:13:00.005-05:00

So I didn't want to forget to tell all of you what a fabulous time we had on trip to New York. Of course I love going and have been often, but this trip was a little different for me. We did things that I've always wanted to do, but never have, and finally did. It was great! First of all, we went ice skating at the Rockefeller Plaza. The weather was beautiful as the snow lightly fell on our heads, and not too cold. But when you are working as hard as I was NOT to fall, then you are almost working up a sweat, no matter what the temp. Spencer, of course, can ice skate fairly well. I have to say, he did loose it once, and it was quite funny. I, on the other hand, have only been one other time in my life, and that's been well over 10 years ago. Time flies! We skated a couple of hours, just long enough to work up a good appetite. We found a tremendous Soup Kitchen that tasted wonderful and hit the spot.

Next, we saw Wicked on Broadway, and I LOVED IT. It was an excellent show and the tickets we had probably made it that much better. Spencer found a man (missing several teeth, I might add) selling them down at Time Square and they were his last two orchestra seats. Although I was VERY hesitant for Spencer to buy them, we made sure they were valid. We were 8 or 9 rows back and in full view. Loved the seats and loved the show even more! Highly recommend.

Finally, last, but not least, the Giants game! The highlight of the trip and an experience I believe everyone should have at least once in their life. There is nothing like NY fans and football too. Although the Giants lost that game, we never regretted one second. We had a blast! It was very cold weather too, but we went prepared for it all. We had our hand warmers, foot warmers, 'toboggans', heavy coats, and hot chocolate of course. However, Spencer really didn't need the heavy coat or warmers because of the 400 lb of "NYC love" sitting right beside him, or halfway on top of him. Put it this way, the only thing that man was wearing in the blistering cold weather was a sweat shirt with sweat pants. Uh, that's it. Very nice guy though.

Oh, how could I forget, the HOTEL! That was an experience all in itself, and unforgettable. The Belnord, do I need to say more. Just a little, maybe. They did not have ESPN, or even know what it was; when you sat down on the FULL size bed, it scooted clear across the room, but that was only 2 feet on both sides until it reached the wall; we woke up SATURDAY morning to the sound of construction on our hallway; and when you opened the bathroom door, watch out because right there is the camode. I must say it was a cost effecient room, and served its purpose, but probably will never stay there again.

We did a lot, saw a lot, ate a lot, and loved every minute of it, but I could not describe in words how bad we both missed our little man. In all honesty, after all the excitement was over, we tried to get a flight home the night before. Oh well, we missed him:)

9 Month "First"

2009-01-28T16:51:00.003-05:00

Many things have taken place this month, including several new adventures from our busy little man. He had his 9 month check up about a week ago and as expected, he is getting BIGGER and L-O-N-G-E-R. We are so excited for his continual growth and development, especially after having what his daddy calls an "anorexic baby". We are well beyond that 6th % and now reaching 70th % in weight and 75th % in height. Oh, we can't forget to mention his head is also 70th %, however, we think she was being quite generous on the measurement as you can see. It was quite a shock to us though to find out he had a double ear infection, with pus found in both. They asked several questions only to get "no" for most of the answers. They did say that had his appointment not been that day, we would have been in to see the doc within 2-4 days because it would have gotten so bad. We were very grateful to catch it in the early stages. He's doing great!

We also took Spence to visit my best friends, Misty and Matt, for an evening. The picture is just one example of just how busy he gets. Trust me, it does look a lot worse that what it was, although we never did find where in his mouth he was bleeding from. Misty was so worried about him she called for a couple of days to check on him. I kept reminding her that Spence has not missed a meal so he must be fine! We had a good time and appreciate all their patience.

Lastly, Spence got his first haircut the other night. It was exciting for us and him of course. Spencer and I were both tired of seeing the hair growing over his ears. He was just a jabber box the entire time I was trimming. I must say it looks nice, but too grown up, so I stopped there and didn't cut anymore. He was a trooper and did great. We love our boy and can't believe he will be a year old in 2 months!

Surprise 80th Birthday Party For Memaw

2009-01-22T11:30:00.007-05:00

I've just about decided to add another profession into my life...giving surprise parties! How fun! We had a blast and Memaw was completely shocked, and probably a little overwhelmed with excitement. You can see the pictures pretty much say it all. Spencer and I told her we were going to a nice dinner for her birthday and instead we took her to the church where everyone was waiting to surprise her. Before we walked in the lights were off and not a peep was heard. We opened the door and they turned the lights on, played "Happy Birthday" on the piano and sang to her as well. Spencer had also made a slideshow of old and new family photos that continuously ran the entire time. She was so shocked I thought she was going to collapse. She is "80" now. It was a little worrisome at first, but she did fine and tears continued to flow the entire evening. Her daughter from Memphis decided to come in to surprise her too, so that was the highlight of her party.

This was one of the most special moments our family has had and I'm so excited for my grandmother. She deserves it. There were lots of fellowship with family and friends, tons of gifts that she gladly opened, and of course, plenty of yummy cake and food.

Dear Mr. Santa....

2008-12-22T15:08:00.010-05:00

December has been filled with lots of new beginnings and transitions for Spence and

our family. We were singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" hoping

he would get them in by Christmas, and he FINALLY got them, plus one. He also got

a nasty fever lasting for 3 days, diarrhea, and some major grouchiness. This only

added to the crud that has hit everyone's home that he already had. In spite of these

things, he is one happy boy with 3 new teeth stillcutting through the gums. They are

quite adorable:)

Spence has also decided that it is now time to become a little more mobile. He started

crawling and loves to crawl straight to our beautiful Christmas tree! And the candles,

and the controller for the tv, and towards all and any cords, and MAMA of course! He

is one busy little boy. There was no gimp leg, no lazy foot, just two knees and two

hands and he was off.

So now that he knows how to crawl, he has also decided it is time to stand up in his

crib. Thank goodness we lowered the mattress, just in time. However, as exciting as

this all has been, it has made naptime a little more difficult. Once he stands in his crib,

he thinks it is time to come out, but he has forgotten one thing... THE NAP. We are

adjusting and learning a lot from this amazing person. He has brought a tremendous

amount of joy to our family and has been our daily Christmas blessing this year. We wish

you all a very Merry Christmas filled with the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Drama, Drama, and more DRAMA!

2008-11-17T15:55:00.005-05:00

It's funny to me the things you learn not to do, only AFTER you make the mistake of doing them in the first place. I put Spence down for his nap and to my surprise he slept for almost 2 1/2 hours. Not like him at all, but it was nice and well needed for the busy little man. However, when he woke up, he woke up and was ready to get out of the crib. For the first time ever, I decided to shut his door ALL THE WAY and at first thought this was a great idea. Until...I went to get him and could not get the door open. I called for Spencer to come and try because I seriously could not open it. He tried as well and then ended up unscrewing the door knob, but that didn't work either. Keep in mind Lil' Spence's talking was now turning into getting upset and fussing. After removing the door knob he still could not get it open. I was beginning to get a little upset myself because Spence QUICKLY got extremely agitated and scared. He could hear us out there and it was getting worse and worse. So daddy to the rescue...the door came down! Yes, he had to kick the door in and bust through. Not good, but I was able to get to the little man, who had tears flowing at this point. It's all good now and he's still our happy boy full of energy. Sometimes I still can't believe he is 7 months old.

Our Little "Spider Man"

2008-11-04T20:10:00.005-05:00

I could not go a day longer without posting our halloween pics of Lil' Spence. He had a very busy day watching the trick-o-treaters at the office and then traveling down to eat with my parents. I must say he was the most adorable spider I've ever seen. He got lots of attention, and to be honest, I do believe he ate it all up! All though it's been a while since I've blogged, we are so proud of our son and enjoy every second watching him grow. Just to give you an idea of how his world continues to change, he is now...

nearly 7 months old

weighs 20 lbs

sits up on his own

becoming mobile rolling on the floor

loves his bathtime

loves eating anything, and is always hungry:)

can mumble "maaamuuh"
trying to crawl

We have officially determined, however, that this little munchkin is very spoiled, but he loves his mama and daddy.

Time to catch up!!!

2008-07-05T12:23:00.007-04:00

Sometimes I don't realize just how fast time can fly, but I promise that I never stop taking pictures. Not to make any excuses, we have been extremely busy the last month and a half. We never thought that trying to run a dental practice, remodel a building, have basal cell carcinomas removed, mastitis, little mans first immunizations (nobody could have ever prepared us for the trauma of that experience although there is still much debate about who was hurt worse - Spence or Mom), all while trying to meet the day to day demands of regular work schedules and raising a newborn would require so much time. Let's just say that a week away from everything is just what the doctors ordered. After a week of vacation coming up, we hope to get Spence's announcement mailed out. He changes everyday, and everyday we grow more and more attached. We already feel like such a close family (though Buddy continues to feel neglected and jealous) and we believe that we make an amazing team. One part could not work without the other.

One of the funniest changes he has made are his different ways of talking to us. He has a way to tell us he's hungry( and tells everyone else within a mile who can hear), a way to tell us he's happy and just wants to talk, he tells us when he needs his diaper changed, when he's tired, and when he just wants to be held. Which is probably my favorite because we LOVE to snuggle. Ultimately, we feel very blessed to have a healthy, happy baby boy. It does become a little depressing to see how fast he changes though we do realize that it is all part of a bigger process that will someday end up in the same place that we are now. During the last month and a half he has graduated from the little bed we had inside his crib, many of his first sets of clothing and the majority of his newborn hair. We have taken too many pictures to post here, but please enjoy another great slide show.

Critters and Creatures Everywhere

2008-07-05T12:02:00.002-04:00

This year seems to be the year for visitors at our house. However, these are 4-legged visitors and although I definitely consider myself an animal lover, I could do without some of them hanging around. We've found the culprit that went fishing in our pond, figured out who was eating our salt blocks, and as of right now we are NOT taking any walks in our neighborhood. There was also some type of critter waking us up every night between 2 and 4 a.m. talking to a friend in the woods. That got pretty old so we are glad it is gone now. Some of these got caught in the action and some I hope to never see in person.

My "Crib"

2008-05-29T21:45:00.003-04:00

Lindz, these are for you! He loves his room and we do too. It was a blast decorating it and it suits him perfectly. We still can't believe he's finally here :)

7 Weeks Old

2008-05-29T20:56:00.003-04:00

Spencer and I enjoyed a long weekend together as a family for Memorial holiday, especially our trip to Alabama. It was fun to finally get out on the lake for the first time this year and ride jet skis. We appreciate the Thornton's letting us come down to crash in on their weekend. We enjoyed seeing the girls dance and watching them perform wonderfully. This was Lil' Spence's first long trip in a car over 45 minutes and he pretty much slept the whole time. Actually he has been a great sleeper and for the first time he slept through the night last night. I would love to say I did too, but I was so worried about him and making sure he was alright that until he finally woke up at 6:30 I was a bit nervous.

We love our little boy and love watching him change each day as he grows and develops. Tonight we performed a complete oral exam on him while he was sedated from another full day of adventures. Our findings were WNL (within normal limits) and there are no teeth present at this time. Additional evals to follow.
