Dentist

Wyatt went to the dentist for the first time today. Well, actually it was the second time. But the first time he actually got his teeth cleaned. I took him to my dentist when he turned three and he hated everything about it. And it took my a year to do my research and get him into a kid dentist that our insurance covers. A little ridiculous that it took me a year.

Anyway, this year we went to a kid dentist. I don't know what I was thinking taking him to my dentist. I guess I thought it would be convenient if we all went to the same place.

He was a little apprehensive this time around but I made sure to bribe him with a new Cars toy of his choice when he was done. My mom watched Gavin and Sidney so that made it much easier too.

He also loved the new toothbrush and toy they gave him. I am sure next time will be a breeze :) I can't believe I just said breeze. Nothing with kids is ever a breeze - who am I kidding?

I know a first trip to the dentist seems "little" but I am constantly overwhelmed with emotion over these "little"(big) things. I can't believe he is big enough to go to the dentist and that he can sit there and tell the hygienist all about his brother and sister and preschool. It's adorable and I guess I am just that mom the cries over these things. Don't worry I waited until we were in the car.

I love these "little" (big) moments.

Too funny not to share!

Wyatt has been saying some of the most hilarious stuff. I have to share!

(I am wearing black pants today - Well, I guess I wear black workout pants almost every day)
Wyatt, "Mom, you have the biggest black booty I have ever seen!"
I think I get a text daily from Dale now saying, "I love you and your big black booty."

Wyatt was "playing" with himself as he seems to do a lot these days. He asked me, "What are these things (his testicles)?"
I would much rather leave all of these type of conversations to Dale but he was at work. I said those were boy private parts just like daddy and brother. I told him he could call them his "balls" or "testicles." I tried to answer as best as I could but gosh wasn't sure if I explained it correctly!
Wyatt turned to me and said, "I think I will call them my meatballs." I was trying not to die laughing!
Later that night Dale asked him what he was doing (his hands were down his pants). He replied, "Just tickling my meatballs, dad."
Dale had to come into the kitchen where I was and we almost fell over we were laughing so hard. If this is a preview for the teenage years, I am a little nervous!

Top Tooth!

Little Miss had her top right tooth break through today! PS I have lots of updates I need to post, I know. Hopefully this week ;)

8 Months Old - Are you kidding me?

I can't believe my little muffin is 8 months old! She is growing so fast and  I can't believe how quickly time is going.

Here's a few things going on with the little miss:
-Army crawling everywhere - sideways, front and back. But no crawling yet.
-Three teeth
-Eating fruits, veggies, grains, and mama's milk. She's doing really well picking up small pieces of food and eating them.
-Standing supported
-Cries whenever I leave the room or hand her off. Certainly a mama's girl.
-Sleeps 12 hours in her crib at night.
-Takes two, two hour naps during the day.
-Wearing 12 month clothes.
-Her hair is also getting so long - it gets in her eyes when its not in a pony!
-Blabbering and "talking" a lot
-Likes blowing raspberries
-Likes her binky
-Loves when people sing to her - especially her brothers

I know that I am quickly approaching the end of nursing. Which is so sad! Here are a couple things I love about nursing with her and hope I will remember: She does arm circles in the air with the arm that is on top, she hmmmms and sings and breathes heavy (it's pretty funny) and she crosses her legs.

I love this little one so much and am so thankful that she is mine. She is one sweet and precious little girl!

Olympia Flight Museum Fieldtrip with Preschool

 Our whole group.

 Of course I didn't get a smile.

 Paper, plastic film holder, tape, scissors, and alkaseltzer...

 Makes the coolest rocket!

 Here it is all taped together. You put half an alkaseltzer and water inside it and close the cap. Put it on the ground and watch it take off! Such a fun (and easy) project for kids.

 Had to get some airplane pictures.

 Here the kids are launching their rockets.

 We even got to get in some of the planes.

L-O-V-E-D it! Totally recommend the Olympia flight museum.

Teeth!!

Sidney has her first two bottom teeth! Bottom right today and bottom left last Wednesday. She hasn't been sleeping well and is uncomfortable. I remember how much I hate teething. I have been pretty much holding her all night. Poor baby! I hope we will get a break for a little bit.

Wyatt and Gavin got their first tooth about the same time.

Sidney is 5 Months Old!

Little Miss is 5 months old! I can't believe it! She is lovable beyond words and we all adore her.

• She smiles and laughs and is starting to (baby) talk more and more.
• Just mommy's milk for food.
• She is sitting supported and holding her head so well at tummy time.
• She is now wearing 9 month clothes! She is a good eater for sure.
• She has dimples like her mommy.
• Her eyes are turning brown.
• Sleeps in her crib from 9 pm to 5 am on good nights. Sometimes she'll wake up at 3pm to eat and go back to sleep.
• I started laying her in her crib so she can put herself to sleep. I was so sad to start the sleep training. But she didn't even cry and fell right asleep :)
• She also started napping in her crib too.
• Rolling all over the place.
• Grabbing objects and bringing them to her mouth.
• We just got out the saucer and walker too. She loves them.
• She loves having the boys play peek a boo and sing to her. Sometimes she gets a little tired of it and will fuss until I tell them to give her a break.
• She is also working on her too bottom teeth. You can see the little buds in her gums.

Sidney Ann you are an amazing little lady and time is going by way too fast. Mommy is soaking up every minute of you. Thank you for bringing so much love into our house (didn't know any more could fit!).
