I LOVE it when family comes to see me!

We have no family (but many amazing friends!) here in Dallas.  

Fortunately we have loving parents and grandparents that travel to see us!  Nana and Pops along with Great Grandma and Grandpa were here at the end of January for a visit (I'm slow with posting).  David and I love it when family comes to town....they give us breaks, we feel rested when they leave,  and they love on Colton!  :)

Do I have chubby cheeks?

The pain in my gums is simply too much to bear (giving Great Grandpa an earfull!)

Teeth! Already?!

Well, being the expert parents that we are (4 months of experience makes us experts, right?!), we were fairly certain Colton was teething during his 3rd month of life.  He was doing all the typical stuff of babies at this point...drooling, sticking things in his mouth, - but we were also noticing other things....screams of pain when he put his hands in his mouth, more messy diapers, lots and lots of drooling, FUSSINESS, going through 3 bottles of tylenol in a week (not really).    

We felt sure this is something we should talk to his doctor about. When we brought it up at his 4 month appointment she assured us he wouldn't be teething yet, but made us feel better by telling us that all 4 month parents think their babies are teething!  

She said teeth will happen around 7 months,...I guess we made up all of the symptoms in our heads.   Some 'expert' parents we are!  

3 days later: 

Tooth number one!  (its there, look close)

2 days later: 

Tooth number two!

We've come a long way

  He screamed at us the whole time!

Colton at 4 months...relaxed and content.  LOVES a bath!
