Whats new.....?

Whats been going on this past month? well Matteo got his 2nd haircut at Melonheads and he surprised us and was on his BEST behaviour. I do miss his curls but this is way easier to maintain and also I know his curls will be back soon :)

 

Next Julia got her first teeth.  Both bottom ones.  She got them around 7 and 1/2 months.  She was pretty much her normal self, only minus of these teeth coming in was she didn't want to BF much AT ALL which had mommy very worried.  (She only would feed morning and night) I even took her to the doctors.  He weighed her (18.4 lbs) and told me he isn't concerned since she had gained a pound since her last appointment.  He said I could add formula or BM to her cereal if I would like.  I am happy now we are back up to 3 BF'ings a day now.  Morning, 11 to 12 morning feed and then night time around 6:30 to 7pm.  I do not have a picture of her new teeth yet.  She is keeping them hidden from me everytime I try to take a picture. But here are a few pictures of our little girl.

 Lastly today was Matteo 1st dentist appointment.  I booked it with a pediatric dentist since I knew they would be best at handling a little one with lots of energy.  Again he surprised me and the dentist and was amazing! He sat on mamma's lap and leaned back on the dentist while she looked at all of his teeth and gave them a good brushing.  It was a great experience and I learned a lot about taking care of his teeth in the future.  His teeth are in GREAT shape and she was really happy that we do teeth brushings regularly and do not give him juice.  Only milk and water.  She was showing me tons of pictures of childrens teeth that decay from drinking lots of juice and from a bottle, and it totally freaked me out. So scary.  She said you would be surprised how many little kids matteos age come in with rotting teeth.  She said told me she saw 10 kids and only 4 out of the 10 had healthy teeth (including Matteo) .  Matteo has great spacing in between his teeth which is also very helpful for food not to get stuck. His downfall is his pacifier.  So that is going to go, and fast.  Dom and I just have to pick a date and do it.  Should be a fun week of whining and crying. Anyways  here are a few pics from the dentist office playing with the train table.  I didn't get any pics with the dentist b/c I had to hold him.  Oh well hopefully next time :)
