For the Love of Teeth

I believe that we are getting paid back for Ethan's first two teeth coming in so beautifully and perfectly. Or maybe it was that I was in such a hurry for him to get more teeth. I'm not sure what it is, but these two teeth are wrecking havoc on that poor little boy. He has all the nasty side effects of teething. Hopefully yesterday was the worst of it. He had three messy diapers during the day, with diaper rash so bad I just stuck him in the tub to clean him off. He didn't eat a very good breakfast or lunch and hardly any snacks. His spirits are so high though, you wouldn't know anything was wrong until you had to change him. We went out to dinner for my birthday and he was great, eating everything as usual. Then we was a riot at my parents house afterward, making us all laugh with his faces and goofy behaviors. We got home around 8 and he was still wide awake, I gave him a bottle and put him to bed. Mike, his mom and I settled in to watch Eagle Eye, a movie. At 11 Ethan woke up fussing a little, we gave him about 5 minutes and then Mike went up to cuddle him and put him back in bed. Mike didn't know he was in for a big surprise! Ethan had thrown up while he was sleeping and it was EVERYWHERE!! All down his p.j.s, on the crib, on the floor, and it smelled!! I took Ethan, Mike tackled the room. Add to that another messy diaper and diaper rash that was getting worse and worse, it felt like we were in for a long night. But, we got everything and everyone cleaned up and settled down and he fell back asleep till three, another messy diaper and terrible rash and then he was back asleep till 8. When he woke up this morning it was like nothing happened! He was happy and hungry and ready to play. The diaper rash was still there but a lot better. He is currently taking a nap. As I said before, hopefully yesterday was the worst of it and these teeth will break soon.

Here's some pictures from my birthday:
Mike made me french toast, I gave Ethan a piece with jelly on it and somehow Milo ended up with jelly on his nose, hmmm
Another nice day in Colorado, we got to go to the park and burn some energyEthan finally got the hang of opening presents, too bad he'll have to wait almost a year till it's his turn againI was taking too long so he opened this one for meAnd then took off with the gift bag
