First of all... we’ve got a tooth! Jaiden finally cut his first tooth through yesterday morning. We’ve had a pretty cranky little guy the past couple days, but we can sure understand why. I think his gums are really bugging him... thank goodness for Baby Orajel! He absolutely hates when we put it on, and will ball his fists together, clench his jaw shut as tight as humanly possible, and shake his head back and forth as if in effort to tell us NO MORE. Me, being the nice sweet momma that I am, of course had to get this on video. One day he can laugh at it with the rest of us. I think he is just starting to realize that as much as he hates it, it really does help within a couple minutes.
Other exciting news- Jaiden’s communication skills are expanding rapidly on a daily basis. It’s been so fun to watch all the changes just over the last couple weeks. He is starting to repeat syllables ba-ba-ba and na-na-na and has recently thrown in a little num-num-num... so as you all can imagine I’m really pushing the MMMMMs, in hopes to hear a “MAMA” soon.... oh, and of course DaDa too. My guess is that mama is coming out first. It honestly sounds like it’s just at the tip of his tongue so we’ll see.
We have a doctor’s appointment set up for Wednesday morning for his 6 month check up so I’ll post some updates during his nap in the afternoon. I have a feeling that we’re going to be making the switch over to the next car seat way sooner than we had anticipated. The one we have now goes up to 22 lbs and he has to be close to the limit. Yikes!
We had such a fun weekend celebrating Fathers Day and spending time with our families. We made a couple trips to the pool and Jaiden had a blast splashing around in his little tube and watching all of the bigger kids play. It's days like yesterday that remind me just how lucky and blessed I have been. I have the most amazing boys in my life :)
