Tooth #7

Ry's 7th tooth has been peeking out since 8/3! I can't get a good picture of it, because frankly who wants their mom peering into their mouth with a camera?


We are quickly approaching little man's birthday, and I am still in disbelief. Seriously, where has the time gone? Seems like just yesterday we were keeping our fingers crossed for a "sticky" baby, and now we have the cutest little guy ever! :)

July passed quickly but not without incident. Ry suffered from Cocksackie Virus over 4th of July weekend. Then, we had to rush him to the pedi's office on 7/22 because he was running a temp of 102.9. An hour at the pediatrician's office and 2 blood draws later, and we still didn't have any answers. We were told it was probably just a viral infection and it would run its course. I, was freaking of course, because what else do I ever do? Viral meningitis had been in the news recently and I couldn't get it out of my head.


Sadly, things got worse before they got better. My grandma suddenly passed away on July 23rd. This was completely unexpected and caught me off guard. She had just been on vacation with my aunt the week before. :(


Thankfully, Ry started feeling better on Sunday, and was back to his old self my Monday. Poor little thing has seen the doctor more times than his sister has in her 3 1/2 years of life. He is an old pro now. We feel blessed that it hasn't been anything severe.


Today, we officially signed Addison up for dance class. She has been going to the studio for their summer mini-sessions, and she has been loving it. Although, I sometimes wonder if it is worth the cost, because when I peek in she often seems like she is in la-la land. I guess we will see. She should be busy between preschool two mornings a week and dance one morning. I have to say that the $$ involved in this is really making me question whether or not we should even consider baby #3. This stuff isn't cheap and this is just the beginning.


Addie is cracking me up lately. She is really into The Avengers, X-Men and Iron Man lately. All day long all I hear is, "Can I watch a little bit (while holding her fingers just slightly apart) of Wolverine?" I think the kid has an addiction. Her dad likes it too, so I guess it is a good bonding time for them.


I have also learned that I need to be more careful about letting her listen to music on my Itouch. While at my parent's house the other day, she stood in the kitchen and proclaimed, "Its Britney b*tch". Which then resulted in a talk about what we can and cannot listen to on the Itouch. However, this child is smart, and she has figured out that she can mute the bad part and then un-mute it and continue listening. Wise beyond her years. :)
