Hooray Big Girl!!

We went to the Dr yesterday afternoon for an ear recheck to make sure her ear infection was gone and it is. I asked the Dr to check her gums because she hasn't been sleeping through the night the last 3 weeks or so (she will wake every 1.5-2 hrs screaming). While we were waiting I noticed a white bump on her upper gum (her previous visit we were told there were no teeth anywhere in close to coming in). the Dr checked and said sure enough, there were 2 possibly 3 teeth about to come through. 2 on top and 1 on bottom. The white bump on her gum i saw he said didn't look like a tooth though it was on the gum line. He thought it was just a fluid pocket but could feel the tooth under it. So, he said give her Motrin before bed and wait it out!

Also, our big girl gained almost 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks!! YAY we're over 16lbs now.

Yay big girl! Soon she'll be able to start biting you! :)

Baby teeth are so cute! The front ones, anyway... the back ones are sharpsharpsharp!

Ev has been drooling a lot the past week or so and has had soft poopies. I felt around in his mouth and there's a little ridge under his gum where a 2-year molar will be.... I guess Addison's emerging tooth was contagious!
