Nate’s losing teeth.

He was waiting & waiting & waiting and finally lost a tooth!  Two teeth, actually.  He lost his first tooth during a holiday party in his Kindergarten classroom & it was our lucky day because I was there volunteering and got to witness the excitement!  The second one came out when he allowed his father to yank it out.

The tooth fairy {who I call Mr. Tooth Fairy on this one} was so busy on the night he lost his 2nd tooth that she ran out of time to come.  Left a note about running in to the Sandman at night.  Nate thought that was pretty cool so he was excited to get a bonus $1 when she actually did show up.  Glad he lost his bottom teeth first – I’m not ready for those two front teeth to come out!

Nate has this silly laugh that he does and this is the goofy face he makes.

Janie @ 6 months

Oh, my.  My little lady is 6 months old!  We love this girl – what a great addition to our crazy family.  A little bit about J at 6 months old:

- She is happy!

- She loves her food.  I’m making her baby food & so far she loves her veggies and pears mixed with some cereal.

- She thinks her brothers are pretty great.  She does her best belly laugh for them when they are being silly.

- Loves the bath.  Hoping she also loves the pool.

- Sleeping?  As Nate would say . . . she’s “medium.”  Not great, not terrible.  We’ve managed to get her to take naps in her bed {when we’re actually home long enough!} but the only way she will is if she eats first.  Terrible habit, I know.

- She is still swaddled to sleep.  Can’t wait for the day when she’s not.

- She is a trooper getting toted around to all the places we have to be.  As long as she isn’t left alone, she’s happy.

- She loves her binky.

- Sits up like a champ.  Sometimes falls over but is doing great.  Which means she loves highchairs, shopping carts and the swings!

- When she is laying on her back, she likes to pick both legs up as far as she can and SLAM them to the ground.  She does this over and over and over.  There must be a 6-pack buried under her Marz belly.

- Loves things by her face when she’s tired.

- She has been my best nurser . . . I’ve rarely pumped this go around.  But I can tell my milk is starting to disappear.  We’ll see how much longer it lasts!  She will take a bottle a lot of the time after she nurses!

- When I’m holding her, she puts her hands up by my neck and nestles her head in to me like she’s giving me a big hug.

Sure do love this girl.

 

Janie @ 5 months

Time is flying by with this little lady.  She is adored by 3 Griffeth boys and her mama.  She’s still super happy & we’re so glad she’s ours!  It has been really fun seeing her two big brothers interact with her.  They still think she’s quite wonderful and are little Janie protectors.  We are really enjoying having a little girl around.
