Milestones

Evan turns two months old today! My lil' man is a happy ball of cuteness. He's really starting to interact now....mostly with the most heart warming toothless smiles! And the best part, he's a snuggles. The hard part seems to be helping him find a comfortable position. Once there, he'll curl up with you for hours. Not much else in this universe compares to calm that comes from curling up with a baby.

Miss Taylor had her first dentist appointment today. The visit started off well, or in other words she made a friend in the waiting room. The room was filled with really cool toys for her to play with, complete with a three year old playmate. My daughter, who is not shy, walks up to the little boy and starts talking his ear off as she plays. I'm not sure he knew what to make of her. At one point Taylor crouches down to look at his face, then extends her index finger....points at him and says "you have brown eyes. i like your eyes". The little boy warmed up quick and they played until it was Taylor's turn in the hot seat.

She unfortunately screamed through the super quick exam. All they did was count teeth. At 2 1/2 she basically has all her teeth. The last of the two year old molars is practically in. Immediately after the exam she got a pink sticker plastered to her shirt, picked out a shiny new tooth brush (she picked the one with a giraffe on it), and got to pick a new toy. Yes, the exam room had a little shelf just her height full of wonderful toys. They had everything from jewelery, packs of stickers, cars, balls, etc. The act of selecting this new toy took as long as her exam did, possibly longer. In true Taylor style she stared intently at this shelf of goodies, silent and almost unmoving. Finally she announced her decision: "Purple ball". Well that was it. We walked off with a new purple bouncy ball......which later "disappeared" due to the fact that Taylor couldn't seem to keep this choking hazard away from her mouth.
