Alyvia's First Tooth

Alyvia has had this fever for going on two days now. We have given her Tylenol and cool baths, and it helps but lately she has just been very restless. I felt her gums on Friday 8-8-08 and they were very swollen. So we knew that she would be cutting teeth soon and that was the reason for all her sickly symptoms.

Well today, 8-10-08 she finally cut her first tooth!!! It is the bottom right front tooth. And now that the tooth came through she is finally settling down. We are so excited for her, she is growing so fast. Brock got his first tooth when he was 10months, so James and I were in shock for a second that it happened so soon for Aly.

She is now sitting up on her own, till she gets distracted and falls over or sees her toes and dives for them! She rolls from front to back and back to front. When she is on her tummy Aly is trying to push off of things, so we are hoping with a little more practice she will be crawling soon. She grabs anything and everything that is within arms reach and puts it straight for her mouth. LOL

Brock is still the same little boy. Very energetic and the little helper. For the past few days he has been so loving and nurturing towards his sister, it brings me to tears. He would run and grab her pacifier or bottle whenever she started to fuss, getting her blankets, and wet washcloths, he was Alyvia's fetcher when she would continuously throw her teething rings to the floor, and he sang lullabies with mommy to soother her to sleep. Brock was so worried about Aly, he is such a wonderful big brother.

The kids are still in school and loving it. Brock told James and I last week that he has a new girlfriend. Her name is Reese and she is 3 years old and according to him she is "BEAUTIFUL"!! Brock's teacher said he is very protective of her and that they are really close friends. Geez only 3 years old and already a ladies man.

Hope everyone is doing great!!!!!! Love you all!
