the teething monster

We had a check up with Sammy's foot Dr today. They took an x-ray and from it the Dr said the surgery was a success. He said already his heel has dropped and is pointing the direction it is supposed to. So yay for that! We go in again next week to get the cast changed, but in the meantime we started to decorate the cast he's got.

As you can tell from some of these pictures Sammy is in full teething mode the last two days. It's bad! I don't remember it being a big deal with Andi. It only seemed to bother her at night, and then once we gave her tylenol and some teething tablets she was fine. But he has been clingy, and more than fussy. He has these fits where he will straight out scream if I sit down. It usually lasts an hour before he calms down again. Hopefully the teeth come through soon.

This is a pretty normal example of Andi being "loving" to Sammy and smothering him.


And this is what happens when Andi tries to help Sammy play in his jumper. He's just a little dizzy.

Andi has been really in to walking her baby doll lately. Mostly I think because I have started walking a few times a week. Okay I just started this week and I've only been twice, but I'm going again tomorrow and I'm going to make it a habit. The kids have been pretty good on our walks and it has been so nice to just get out and get a little bit of exercise. I haven't done that since Sammy was born, but now that my wonderful friend Tarin let us borrow her double stroller, we've been getting out of doors more often.
We've had kind of a crazy few weeks. My Grandma has been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks now and so all of my dad's siblings came in to see her. It's been really nice to see everyone, just unfortunate that it's because Grandma is sick. She is out of ICU now and on a regular floor and hopefully will be coming home soon.
