Milestones

Well, last week was a big one at our house- Max cut his first 4 teeth in 5 days! I had been checking his gums everyday for months! Turner had cut his first tooth at 7 months and I know "every child is different" but not my kids! Actually Max has hit milestones a few weeks before Turner did so I guess I assumed that cutting teeth would follow suit. I was wrong but weeks before his first birthday he has made up for lost time and he just went crazy cutting teeth. Here are the first two peeking through. He actually was in pretty good spirits that week and for the most part we have been just hanging out having fun. Some days I just wonder what in the world it is called when you have a group of boys? A gaggle of boys? Because last Friday I had 5 but I usually have 3 wed.-fri. and sometimes I just want to hold something with a ridiculously large bow on its head. It looks like right now girls are going to out number our boys in my preschool this fall though so that should be a nice change.

Turner is becoming more independent and is starting to leave the two's behind. I am not saying that the tantrums have stopped but the independence is in full swing. He insisted the other day of putting his shirt on :) I love how he got both sleeves on one arm!

The imagination is in full swing too. Lately he has been pretending he is Lightening McQueen and doing laps around the house. He makes the most amazing car noises and often stops and asks for a pit stop. He pretends to blow out a tire sometimes too- and I just can't help but to smile and just soak in how much fun he is! The next major thing is that he is obsessed with the Dr. and pretending he is a Dr. in fact he asks to go to the doctor all the time. He found the cigarette lighter adaptor for the traveling DVD player and used it as a stethoscope to give his little brother a check up. Max just wanted to eat it. Turner kept at it for a long time. I got a looked over to! Good news is that I am in good health.
