First Tooth!

Mikey got his first tooth today! I've tried to get a picture, but he won't smile for me. It's about time, that tooth has just been treating him so bad. I'm excited that it finally broke through, so it won't be going back down! Teeth are mean to children, it makes them so moody and it does a number to them in every possible way. You think growing a tooth would be easy, at least I remember getting my big teeth to be not that painful, but for him, it would give him a slight fever every so often, his eating habit would go up and down and sometimes I couldn't get his butt to bed.

But lately he's been going through a grumpy stage lately, wanting to be held a lot. His lungs are working well, he runs around the house screaming and making all kinds of noises.
He's getting more mobile, but still not walking yet. We practice together. He has this thing about walking and standing on his toes. I hope he grows out of it. Mike's family calls him Kurt, because he walks on his toes too. Kurt is the clumsy of the family, he'll be just standing there and some how, some way he'll fall over or spill something.

Here's an old photo of me trying to do Mikey's a hair a few weeks ago. I tell you, that boy does not hold still. Just like his Dad, he has to be on the move and gets into everything. He's afraid he's going to miss something. I hope his ambition takes his future straight to the top and won't let anything stand in his way.

Time to go, I need to fix my boys some dinner. What I'm going to fix, I don't have a clue, but I'll think of something.
