Teething

It's been a while since I've updated but I haven't really had too much to write about.  I celebrated my 36th birthday last week.  As my college friends and I say, I'm not in my upper 30's until I hit 39.  I had a great day and thanks to my wonderful husband and kids, I will be going to get a massage or whatever else I fancy sometime in the near future.

Anna is officially teething.  She got her first tooth (the middle right lower incisor) a few weeks ago and she just got the middle left lower incisor yesterday.  That puts her right on par with Meredith's teething pattern.  I guess we can expect her to get all four of her upper incisors right around her 1st birthday now.

Anna is currently on Omnicef for an ongoing sinus infection.  We brought her in last week because she was just so congested that she was gasping for breaths and making froggy noises in her throat and it had been going on for almost two months.  I was a little afraid to start on back up on antibiotics since she got colitis the last time she took antibiotics but we started her on probiotics a day before the antibiotics and we haven't had ANY diarrhea.  And her congestion eased up within days!

We took Anna in for her 9 month checkup this morning.  She looks great and weighed in at 19 lbs., 3 oz. and is 28.5".

Meredith has a busy month ahead as I have her signed up for a bunch of classes through community education and she also starts some zoo camps at the end of the month.  She already took one community ed class and was SO excited.  She is also very excited for our road trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan later this month.  She made a packing list and asks me multiple times every day how many more days she has to wait to go on the "car trip".

I haven't had the camera out too much since Easter but this is one of my most favorite photos ever.  You may have seen it on Facebook already.
