Poor Baxie

Baxie hasn't got any face time in quite sometime. He is still the same sweethearted, rockin dog who hogs up half the bed at night. I thought only girls played hard to get, but I tell ya, he has not let me take a picture of him in quite sometime. He recently got groomed and looks like a brand new DOGGIE. We had to catch him when he was SLEEPING and protecting his newfound love, Isabella. Another benefit of being a mom, everyone keeps you warm : )

Izzy's First Tooth

When a baby begins teething, there is no set pattern on when it will begin, how long it will take and how painful it will be. Her bottom teeth are coming in and it looks like she is right on schedule according to the experts.

6 to 7 months
Incisors
Two central bottom & Two central top teeth.

7 to 9 months
Two more incisors
Top & bottom; making four top & four bottom teeth in all.

10 to 14 months
First molars
Double teeth for chewing

15 to 18 months
Canines
The pointed teeth or “fangs”

2 to 3 years
Second molars
The second set of double teeth at the back

Big girl is in a bit of pain - not sleeping, drooling, runny nose and irritable. We are trying to make her feel better and take the pain away. Here is a picture of Izzy with her Elmo toothbrush and paste from Grams & Gramps V.

My First Baseball Game

Today on Easter, I put on five layers of clothes, a hat, and a blanket to watch the Chicago White Sox. The temperature was supposed to be in the 50's, but it ended up being in the 30's, not to mention the wind that was blowing in my face! I lasted through half of the game, but then I fell asleep, so I missed who won. Daddy told me later that the White Sox won. Mommy said that's okay, I should be a Cubs fan anyways......
