I remember reading somewhere that if you chill spoons in the fridge that they offer relief to babies who are teething.... so I tried it.... and what do you know! It works! Mikaela loves the feel of "chewing" on the spoons! This is the happiest she has been in a couple of days!

Aeddon 365: Day 16
Aeddon doesnt read. He is not even two yet...... (Actually day 16 is exactly one month until his 2nd birthday!) But boy o boy does he love books. They don't even have to be picture books! I have caught him flipping through Peirs Anthony novels..... He loves to stare at the written word! I think I am gonna spend a fortune in Barnes and Noble with this kid!
Alexander 365: Day 16
One of these days Alexander will quit sucking his thumb. Whenever he is bored or tired or sad he sticks his thumb in his mouth. I wish he had gotten hooked on a pacifier! At least then if all else failed I could have taken them away! But I cant take away his thumb! What am I gonna do! He is gonna ruin his teeth like that and I really dont want him to need braces when he is older!
Mikaela 365: Day 15
Day 15.... Mikaela's turn to be sick. She spent all day crying... She threw up about 6 or 7 times. Of course to make matters worse she is teething... My poor baby.... Teething is bad enough.... but she is doing it with no meds cause every time I give her anything she throws up! She isnt even keeping down teething tablets! Poor baby!
Aeddon 365: Day 15
Aeddon loves his rocketship. It is his favorite non-monkey toy. He takes it with him everywhere! He dropped it at the commisarry once and a worker came up to us as we were about to leave and told us that he had just found it in the cat food isle and recognized it and remembered that it belonged to Aeddon and had hurried to catch us before we left. That means either that man has a photographic memory for other peoples things..... or Aeddon is inseperable from his rocket!

Alexander 365: Day 15
Alexander loves to play with hangers! Once I took away all of Alexanders toys for a day.... I found him in his room playing with his hangers! I think it is because when he was little Owen taught him to swordfight using hangers!
Mikaela 365: Day 14
Mikaela asleep as seen through the bars of her crib.... I had spent all day dealing with a sick Alexander..... and it sint occur to me that I never took a picture of her until she was asleep for the night.... So I snuck into her pitchblack room and snapped this shot! I am glad that it came out ok.... cause I dont think I could have taken another one without waking her up!
Aeddon 365: Day 14
Sometimes while I am busy I will realize that Aeddon is missing.... So I will stop what I am doing and go look for him.... you know what they say about kids who are too quiet...... Half of the time when he is being too quiet I find him here..... sitting in the bath playing with the bath toys. There is no water in the bath.... he is just sitting there waiting for me to give him a bath. Usually he is quietly singing Bath bath bath to himself. I think he might be pretending he is taking a bath! My friend Stephanie says that Aeddon is cuter than any one child should be able to be.... Times like this I really agree with her!
Alexander 365: Day 14
Alexander had already gone to bed for the night. Right before he went to bed he had thrown up all over the living room twice and once in his toilet.... Then about half and hour after he went to bed I had a strange feeling that he needed me.... so I went running into his room. He was lying in his bed wearing only his underwear. His jammies were behind him in a puddle of sick..... He was whispering "Mommy I need you" so softly that I barely even heard him when I was in the room with him. Thank God for mothers intuition!
So of course we got him up and took him in to take a bath. Alexander loves baths when his stomach is sick! He will sit there in the warm water with his hand under the running water for hours if I let him! Before he got over his cold he threw up 4 more times.... each of those times he managed to throw up in the toilet. I dont remember teaching him to do that.... he must have learned it watching me be sick while I was pregnant with Mikaela.....
Mikaela 365: Day 13
Mikaela is starting to get a tooth. You can see the bulge of it below her gums. It is on the bottom on the right side of her mouth. I think within a week or two my baby will have her first tooth! I just hope that she doesnt use that tooth to bite the chi-chi!
We got this teething duck for Aeddon. He hated it.... so I saved it and Mikaela loves it! But she only likes it if it is room temperature!
