Getting Better

I am happy to report we are all much happier than just a few days ago. I hated seeing Beau in pain, and I know teething is the most terrible thing ever! I keep telling Beau that getting more teeth means he can eat more fun stuff, but it's no consolation right now!

Here's a short recap:

Wednesday - first tooth breaks through

Thursday - fussy, first tooth emerging

Friday - massive poops, fussy, first tooth still emerging

Saturday - massive poops, very tired, bright blue eyes a little dark

Sunday - massive poops, very tired, fever, second tooth barely breaks through

Monday - fussy, second tooth fully breaks through, begins to feel better in the evening

Tuesday - much happier, no fever, second tooth emerging, lots of crawling, "talking" and playing

Whew! I don't wish two teeth at the same time on any kid EVER! We had a few weeks break in between all of Lincoln's teeth, so this was especially bad to us. I hope we've turned a corner and are on the road to happiness. We spend a lot of time reading tonight. Lincoln is not always willing to share, or even let Beau touch (or get near) the book we're reading, but we manage. He's got to learn that his brother is always going to be there to see what's going on! Sometimes Beau is happy to just look, but he's pretty grabby and that makes Lincoln crazy!

Bathtime is wild, but everyone enjoys it . . . except the Mommy covered in splashes! Beau still bathes in his baby tub after Linc goes to bed, but he loves to watch Lincoln take a bath/play in the big tub. I snapped a pic after Linc's bath, and they were being silly.
Yes, I know they are both naked (diapers/underwear) in these pictures. Not only are they cute without clothes, but it cuts down on my laundry! We took off our dirty/germy school clothes, and I never made anyone get dressed. I'm pretty sure no one's going to call Child Protective Services on me - I had the heat on, and they both love to be without clothes! Here's to another good day tomorrow!

Hang in there girl! Those days are rough! Drew has been a TERRIBLE teether too! All of her teeth have come in two at a time since the beginning too. I never understood how some mothers never noticed if their child cut a tooth!!!! There was never any doubt in this house....my sweet child grew horns, ran fevers, and wouldn't stop crying when she did. Luckily we are on our very last set of second year molars right now!!!! Yay!!! I'm praying Dax takes teething a little better! :) Your boys are too precious and I'm glad I can keep up w/y'all on your blog since we live all the way across the US from each other these days. Hope y'all have a great holiday season!
