Talking, teething, and swelling...

I recently cut Talmage's hair so it doesn't do this anymore but he is still getting so grown up. He is talking so much. His latest phrases that make me smile and cringe..."Mom this is special" or "Tiny's favorite" (yes he only speaks in third person and calls himself Tiny even though he can say Talmage) , "HEY MOM, HEY MOM" (said with an abundance of annoyance in his tone). "Oh shoot". Other nicknames he has assigned: Morgan is More-more. Maya is Ya-ya. Adeline is Whyayine (I think). He also recently figured out his scooter and now can't get enough of it.

Adeline will be 9 months old on the 25th and has ZERO teeth. I'm fine with this and not worried, but she is MISERABLE as she attempts to get all her teeth at once right now. Last night was a long night of crying and I finally just held her until she fell asleep around midnight. Between that, and day light savings, I didn't get to the gym this morning.

With teething in mind I called the pediatrician and was reminded that if your child is over 6 months you can alternate between infant tylenol and infant motrin every 3 hours. We were at the store early! Also, I can't say enough for the homeopathic teething tablets. I love them and they have saved me with both kids.

As you can see from the picture, Brandon rolled his ankle playing in a basketball league. I think he was afraid to tell me because my only requirement for sports is DON'T GET HURT! The swelling is going down but three of his toes are now black from the blood settling. I don't think he tore anything because he can still walk on it. Yeah, we didn't go to the Dr.

Anyway, that's what we are up to. That and trying to enjoy the hit and miss good weather.
