First Tooth

Lots of first this week...oh my! First snow, first taste of dog food, first walks along the couch, first TOOTH!!! SO funny because it's not his lower front tooth...it's his top left tooth! Weird or what?!?! Never heard of that until now. I guess it's pretty common. His pediatrician confirmed it. She also felt his two lower ones coming up and possibly the top right one too! Bring it on! I do admit as excited as I am for it, I will miss E's toothless grin.

I hadn't blogged about this yet because so much was happening this weekend, but Ev also started using the couch to walk assisted from one end to the other, and then from the couch to his musical standing toy :) Trying to capture it on video has been difficult, but will hopefully be captured soon.

This past weekend I got the cold...BAD! Luckily it is seeing it's way out the door and we are praying that Ev and Dave don't get it. E's already had his share of 3 colds in his short life :( Saturday was E's day with Daddy while I baked cookies, got a mani, did some house chores, and pilates. Had my first of 3 cookie exchanges of the holiday season. Let me tell, not so fun when you cannot breathe and taste anything :( Luckily every one else was healthy and enjoyed them! On Sunday, we got up early, baked a casserole and headed out to our friend's for our 2nd annual Kids Gift Exchange. SO MUCH FUN!!! Love seeing the kiddos open their gifts :) Even more fun with one of our own participating in the festivities. We are so blessed to have our little man in our lives. Looking forward to this Christmas for sure! E got a push and go truck and Fisher Price building blocks from his newbie friend Jack.

Yesterday Evan had his 9 month check up at the pediatrician. He is still a healthy little specimen. He is in the 75th percentile for his weight and head. But in the 50th percentile for his height. He's a short fat little man :) When he was there they tested his blood for lead, gave him a TB test and the H1N1 booster shot. He's meeting all the developmental milestones so far. He won't go back until he's 1 year old. Hard to believe that is only 3 months away :( Where did the time go?!?!
