6 teeth & preschool!!!

Jeff & I are a tired pair over here. Braden has 6 teeth coming in all at once! Ouch! He already has it bottom two teeth and two more are coming in on the bottom, plus all four top teeth are coming in. He has been getting up at least once a night, maybe twice. We've had one night of sleeping through the night in the past week. Once these teeth come in, we are going to have him cry it out (if he still wakes up) but can't bare to do it right now when we know he is in pain. Poor guy!

Otherwise, Braden is growing and growing! He is eating a ton too. Today he ate an entire #2 jar of baby food plus oatmeal...and then a bottle! I've never seen bigger cheeks or thighs on a baby! He is such a smiley little guy and very happy!

Madeleine is busy going to preschool and dance class each week. She loves preschool and is learning so much. Every day I ask her what she did and she responds, "I don't know" or "Nothing"...but then later I will hear her reciting something she learned and it's really cool to hear. She is growing up so fast! The other upside FOR ME is obviously that I get a break and some one on one time with Braden...but the biggest benefit for me is that she actually misses me now! Jeff has always been her #1 pick and FINALLY she misses me and wants to be with me :) If you've ever been around Jeff & Madeleine, you know what I am talking about...she much prefers him over me so it's nice to feel wanted :)
