No Baby, Baby

This is the note Charlie left with his tooth.  And when he woke up this morning, he was a little sad that there was no baby.

Another Tooth!

Another Tooth!

And this one he pulled out all by himself!

And then - unprompted - Charlie wrote this note to the tooth fairy after getting a dollar coin for his tooth.  He is a sweet boy!

It's Out!

Charlie's loose tooth came out last night!

And he was pretty excited about it.

Stop Growing!

Charlie has had a tooth on the bottom that has been just a little loose for about a week.  And he is SO excited.  I guess kids at school are starting to loose teeth and he is ready for a visit from the tooth fairy. As we were brushing his teeth last night, I noticed that a new tooth is popped up behind the loose one.

And this is on top of getting his first 6 year molar about 10 days ago.

I told Charlie he had to stop getting so big.  He asked me why and I said because he is growing too fast.  Charlie very sweetly assured me that he will still love me, even when he is big.

Rosie Update

In mid-November, sweet Rosie Nell got pink eye.  Of course she got it on a weekend so by the time Monday rolled around and Marc got her to the doctor, her eye was ugly.  But she acted like it didn't bother her a bit.

 Since I went back to work, Rosie wants to sleep with me at night.  She was so good about sleeping in her bassinette, but now she will cry and groan until I pick her up.  The second I lay her in bed Rosie stops, and she prefers to fall asleep with both her hands on my face. Looks like she needs Marc for her naps, too.

Or Grandma Dot

Here are the pictures I took on her six month birthday.  She was getting another pink-eye attack:

And if there are pictures, Charlie needs to be in them, too

Can you tell she adores her brother?

On December 12, Marc took Rosie in for her 6 month checkup.  She was 26.5 inches tall (75th percentile), 15pounds, one ounce (30th percentile) and her head measured 17 inches (75th percentile.) 

And on December 19, I noticed her bottom left tooth had broken through the gum. Rosie is chewing on EVERYTHING - and if she gets a finger she will hurt you with her little tooth. I am really sad that she is growing up and we won't have many more big gummy smiles. But at the same time, I am looking forward to toothy grins.
