In Time for Turkey Day

I suspect because I've teased T that he couldn't have food until he gets teeth prompted some physical manifestation of "Ha ha, Mom!"

Our Wednesday drive out to North Dakota for Thanksgiving was shaping up to be a typical, uneventful trip (A.O.K. with me), but T surprised me during our stop for a sandwich in Valley City. I decided a reprieve from the car seat was in order and held him as we ate in the deli. Instead of T's normal "gumming" of my arm, I felt a serrated-type jab into my wrist. Sure enough, his first tooth made it's appearance. It's next door neighbor is close behind.

Cereal

Monday night we decided it was time to see how Tobias liked cereal, so Sara mixed up a batch and the adventure began...
Hmmm... what's this?

Not too bad....

Mmm... tasty

More please....

All done, that was tasty!


We took video. When I get our internet back fully working hopefully we can post a clip as well.

FF Weekend

We spent last weekend in FF at G&G B's. We got to see (Great) Grandma Crater one more time before she goes home to New Jersey next weekend. Tobias also got to spend lots of quality time with his cousins. And we made some lefse - I think this was my first time making it. It turned out great.

Lefse making party...
...even Preston got to try one (with Aunt Sara's help of course)....
Norman and Martha stopped by for supper...

Preston is a pretty cute kid too...Tobias & Preston making faces...Hanging out with cousin Sean...

Do Change

Here's my attempt to implement efficiency in my morning routine. So far so good. I don't even have to remember to wear earrings.

Traumatic Day


I'm not sure he'll sleep tonight, but if he wants to sleep now, then snooze away my little one! I've often thought that infants could pass for chameleons due the way they can change color so quickly once that first shot is given.

Here are his 4 month stats:
Height - 26.75 in
Weight - 15lbs 1oz
Head Circ - 16.75 in

He is right on track and even rolled from his stomach to his back for the doctor.

Whoa, he just woke up and does not sound pleased . . . Tylenol to the rescue.

My Fellow Americans

I happily stood in queue twice with my fellow community members this morning.
Once to vote,
And again for free coffee.

What an exhilarating morning! . . . or maybe that is the caffeine talking. (I'm feeling so pollyanna.)

Livin' it up

Well, after 4 months, T-bird has got it down:

Play hard . . .





Sleep hard.

As for his parents, well, we are happy to oblige.
