New tooth!

OK - I have a ton of stuff I want to put out here, but I haven't had time to get it all out here at once, so I figured something was better than nothing! Johnny got his 2nd tooth this weekend! We had some night waking, bad naps and fussiness last week, and weren't totally sure what was going on until Andrew saw the new tooth peeking through on Friday morning!

He has also begun to "let go" with one hand or even both after he pulls up!

His eczema that he broke out with last week is better, and I'm trying some of the foods that I think might have caused it slowly again to figure out what it might have been. He got over his fever on Tuesday night and seems to be doing much better - thanks so much to Grammy for coming up Tuesday to keep him! Thanks to Mimi and Gramps for keeping him last weekend while I got things ready for Meggan's baby shower!

He LOVEs the cat, and so far we've managed to avoid any tragedies. Sunny has been surprisingly tolerant, or stays out of his way!

We are working on getting him a new "convertible" car seat, as the straps on the infant one are starting to get pretty tight. We got one that we are going to test out for a week or so, and see how that goes! If we decide it's not so great, then it may become our "spare".

Andrew and I have been really busy with work this past week, and with having to miss some work with Johnny being sick that made it more hectic. I've been trying to "catch up" this weekend, and hopefully this week will be somewhat of a turning point in the semester. I'm giving an exam tomorrow - so today will be dedicated to writing that!

Andrew and Casey aereated about 6 yards yesterday morning (ours and then some neighbors in both neighborhoods) and I think they actually made money doing it! They also went, along with Dennis and Jim to the Aviator Brewing Company at the north end of Fuquay for a tour yesterday afternoon. Apparently they have an amazing controls system. Johnny and I ran a few errands in the morning, played some, did some chores, and took a nice walk to downtown Fuquay and Stick Boy Bakery in the afternoon. I had planned to get some hot chocolate or something since it was so cold, but by the time we got there, I was hot and so I had a raspberry Italian soda instead! I also worked some throughout the day when he was content playing. Andrew cooked an awesome dinner last night - marinated grilled chicken, fried okra and squash combo, and greens. Yum!

Andrew's teaching Sunday School this morning, but is feeling a bit under the weather. We had planned to make it to Babies R Us to look at car seats this afternoon, but we may not make it, between him not feeling so good, and me needing to work. Not sure! More updates on the family reunion, U2 concert, and Meggan's shower to come this week, hopefully!
