Tooth #11

Connor is 19 months old and got another tooth yesterday! Yeah!! #3 of the the 4 up front on the bottom that he should have gotten a few months ago. Hopefully #12 is not far behind. He's been a real pill though lately. We're hoping it's just teething, but I'm thinking maybe it's the "Terrible Two's" warning us of their impending doom. He's REFUSED to take a bath the last 3 nights! He screams and cries and acts like...well, like Sophie with her ear meds! He's not going to bed too easily either. We had quite a fit today after he squeezed his juice box all over both of us...repeatedly...and I told him he had to sit at the table to drink the rest. That fit included screaming, kicking and banging a hand on the table! I tried to remain calm and just wait it out. I knew he was tired so we went up for a nap (and put the juice box away for later)...which caused more screaming, stomping and banging on the door. Maybe I should be glad that I'm going into the hospital next week and Grandma and Grandpa get to deal with him!

Marley's on more meds. We finished the antibiotic for her teeth..which have yet to be cleaned and may have to have more before the actual procedure. But now she seems to be having a problem with her back leg. It shakes and sometimes she seems to be favoring it/limping. I called the vet to see what to do and they gave me MORE meds for her. They want to try some glucosomine before doing any x-rays...which require putting her under which is what we're trying not to do for the teeth. So we'll see how it goes and hopefully she'll not get any worse. But that makes 4 meds that she gets at every meal...it's crazy!

Oh and Connor has started watching cartoons! He loves The Backyardigans now...he calls it Pablo which is the penguin character. He actually had a Backyardigan themed birthday party for his first birthday...guess it was just a little too early for him. He carries around a couple of the little characters, along with his little cars, everywhere he goes. It's very cute.

Evan's still hanging in. We go to our last dr's appt tomorrow morning! Then a week from tomorrow at 7am is the surgery! Ready or not...here he comes!
