The First Tooth

Print

So Eli has his first tooth, at 8 months and boy am i not glad that tooth finally popped through. That boy chewed on anything that he could lay his hands on…Try rescuing your hair off a teething baby! Uh -ah Yep, always done with  an additional screetching, scream, wince…yeah you get the picture.

But this is just the beginning we have more teething to do.

He still is a good eater, so we have added meats and lots of other foods to his diet. We are trying to teach him to wave goodbye now. He is a talker and when he does, some words seem to sound real like ” hi” and “J” We call his big brother J and we think he has picked that. He says that in the morning when he wakes up, and looking towards the door, since his brother always comes in and wakes him if he isn’t up yet.

Parents keep track of the endless firsts… I mean, can you imagine being able torecord all those and share with your children when they are all grown up? I mean i think it is amazing. They will be a certain age only once , so why not enjoy as much as you can? My husband has been keeping a video diary of the boys  since birth and i think that is really cool. I never had that, so  if you are reading this and you are planning on having children of your own, or know someone that is expecting… hey i write  about my children, but video diaries are an absolute treasure!

Enjoy the firsts as they sure do pass fast!

My Goodness… It has been a headache.

I am trying to travel overseas and of course, i waitd till the last minute to check my travel documents only to be greeted with an Expired passport, so of course my travel agent had to break news to me that the airline that i wanted to use will not accept travel documents, at least to get me home where i would gladly renew my good ol’ passport.

I really don’t want to have to use a different carrier as i am going to be stuck in long lay overs, and with 2 children…did i mention with a 9 month old baby? Dang! What was i thinking?

So, word of advice, renew  your IDs, passports etc  on time! Don’t do what this woman here did, now am left with limited options…. Yes i could go ahead and renew from here, but it is much longer process, and will not make it home for Easter …I know.. Yikes!
