Teeth and Toys

Make these sharp little teeth come in already! Is there some way to speed up this process? I can see those top one right there pressing on his little gums but they will not break through. I can't leave him crying in his crib at night when I know he hurts, but I need some serious sleep. He is starting to chew on his crib to and that one little tooth is leaving some nice new scratches on the wood. It really can't be good for him to bite that finish off but what do you do?

We got the rest of Colin's playroom furniture in this weekend! It was our little dining room:

and now it is a nice cleared out play area (with curtains I need to iron tomorrow - I got tired of bare walls and figured I could take them down and iron on my day off).

OK, so I know Colin can't really used the things I bought yet, but did you see the extra storage space under the table and chairs? Those can be used now! And actually, I sit at that table when he is playing and I need to do something on the laptop or even eat lunch. And since his high chair height can be adjusted, I can lower him enough to come down and sit at the table. And I am only buying playroom furniture once, so I got what I wanted, regardless if he was ready to use it.

And I can't find a clock I like.

I still have an empty area on the one wall, but I am too afraid of putting something up and reducing space for future toys. So I don't consider it completely done...but a constant work in process. It is nice having all the toys in one place though!

This toy will soon have a new home...hopefully in the next week or so.

Certified Heart breaker - Breaking hearts since 7/1/09

Cheering for the Saints. What a great game!

Always climbing up the oven. This make doing any baking very difficult. It is like a magnet. If I could gate it up I would.

Colin's first bath without the infant tub!

Some of the new playroom furniture arrived Wednesday. Colin was checking out his new toy box - from the inside.

SOLD!

I sold my buffet/hutch! And what is really random is this person is in Cincinnati, OH.

I was leery at first, but he is paypaling the $ and arranging for the freight company to come out (at his cost). I just have to get it to the garage and have it bubble wrap protected for it's journey to OH. He must really want that buffet!

...or he may be a bad person that steals my buffet and doesn't pay...but I am being positive (and not letting it go until the money is in my account). =)

Yay for playroom decorating money!

And...

Someone fill me in on the Bachelor. The DVR messed up last night and I missed it. Which also means I missed One Tree Hill and Castle.

I watch too much TV.

Finally, Sleep

We have had a rough few days! For good reason though - Colin got his first tooth! The worst night was Tuesday night b/c that was the night it actually broke through his gums. I took him to the doctor the next morning thinking he might have an ear infection. Nope - half of the tooth had broken though already. Dr. Lowe also showed me his top gums where several more teeth were on there way out. I can see at least 3 big swollen "teeth spots" and they are definitely on their way. His little gums are white at the very bottom where they are pressing.

Those top teeth are still working their way down but yesterday was the first day he was back to normal Colin. He was happy (with no Motrin!!) and took his normal 2 long naps! So mean mom was back and let him fuss in the middle of the night. Glorious...he slept like normal and woke up happy. I am sure it will be short lived as those top teeth are close, but I will take what I can get.

I will admit I did enjoy his clingy personality for those few days. He was so cuddly. Not normal for him as he always like to be moving and into what is going on.

Cassie and I tried to see Dear John this weekend but it was sold out! And we are old so we opted not to wait for the 9:45 showing. We saw When in Rome instead and I loved it. I will buy that on DVD when it comes out.

Also, we are selling out small buffet/hutch from out dining room. If you know anyone that is looking for one (b/c frankly you have to be looking for one to want to buy it...not really a sporadic purchase kind of item) please direct them to my craigslist link! Thank you!!
