8 Months


In all the Christmas festivities, Andrew's 8 month-day did not get put onto the blog. Oops! So, better late than never...
Andrew is growing up so quickly and the months are flying by like weeks. He is sitting up solid as a rock now. He does not show signs of crawling yet, but he is getting interested in things out his reach, so I know that mobility is right around the corner...look out! Last week, I took him to the doctor for his ear infections (the never ending infections that have seemed to plague our family over the last few weeks) and while there, he weighed in at 20 lbs even! What a big boy!
Oh yeah, and he has two front teeth on top now to go along with the two on the bottom.
Happy day, Andrew!

The Dentist

Will's awful ear infection has finally cleared up and he is feeling much, much better and acting like old Will again! YEA!!
And in other news, Will had his first dentist visit on Thursday. Dan and I also had appointments and so we all four showed up in the office for a big ole family event. :) Will watched Dan get his teeth cleaned and was very interested and in awe of the whole process.
So when it came time for him to get in the chair, he was actually kind of excited. (I know...only Will would be excited about the dentist chair!) Needless to say, he did great. He was so patient and let the hygienist "count" and clean every tooth! The best part was the sunglasses he got to wear when she shined the light on his face! He felt so important and cool! :)
I really like Dr. Balzli and his office a lot. They are a very kid friendly staff and were so sweet with Will.
At the end, he got a prize out of the drawer and out of all the fun little toys, he picked a small blue ball of course! (This is what he has consistently said he wants Santa to bring him.)
In all the hustle and bustle of getting out of the house, I forgot my camera. So, here is a picture of Will this morning showing off his clean teeth and new toothbrush.
