If you look real close you can see his bottom molar. The top one on that side has been in for a little while now, but the bottom was barely peeking through on Monday and now it's a whole tooth. Both the top and the bottom of the other side are very swollen and obviously bothering him, but they have not made an appearance yet.
We started the day at Little Tykes play group--this is his "specialized training" through our early intervention services---essentially it's structured play.
Then we hit quiznos for lunch and got Reese's flu shot. We headed home where Mommy and Reese took a nap and Daddy played his new obsession, WOW. 
After Daddy went to work Reese and Mom stopped to play with Baby Austin and Matthew. oops I just went to make a link to their blog and realized she changed it to by invite only, so you don't get to see Austin and Matthew. Now that I've caught up on my blogs I am off to empty my Tivo--Jon and Kate, House and Without a Trace are waiting for me.
After the trauma and abuse ended he was perfectly happy to check out their equipment.
Then we went to the park with my friend and her kids. Reese went on the slide.
This looks interesting.
It started with Dr. OZ, You on a Diet -- the hour long special on Discovery Health Channel. He went through the woman's pantry and fridge and made a healthy pile and a "junk" food pile. Of course she had like 6 healthy things and everything else was basically crap--even the stuff she thought was healthy. Like that breakfast bar you thought was healthy but really is so packed with sugar you may as well have eaten the Reese's peanut butter cups you really wanted. Anyway from there I launched into Skinny Bitch, What to Eat, The Omnivore's Dilemma and Nutrition Action Newsletter. But the NY Times article "A Farm Boy Reflects" is what helped convince my hubby. (It was the part about the goose's life partner trying to rescue it's partner from being dinner.) SO we are making the switch to organic meat AND we are going to start reducing the meat we eat all together. We're going to start with 2 meatless dinners per week. Now this is not say we may not continue eating our AmyLu Organic Chicken and Gouda sausages at breakfast on a meatless dinner day, but none the less we will be reducing our meat consumption. This week's menu:
He doesn't seem as small as he really was in this photo to me, but he was 975 grams--a smidge over 2 pounds.
I came back from Cindy's funeral on Sunday night. She, along with the rest of my college friends, still lives on the east coast, so I rarely see her. Actually I think it's been a meager 4 times this decade. My day to day life could go on unchanged. We didn't talk on the phone and we barely emailed. But when we got together it's was as if we'd never gone separate ways. Our little group easily meshed back together even though years pass between meetings.
If we are to believe everything happens for a reason the only reason I can figure is that this experience of losing her is supposed to be a catalyst for the rest of us to get our heads out of butts and enjoy every minute that we have with the people that we care about doing the things that we care about.
Lunch at taco bell a little before the first haircut--big yawn.
Sipping dad's raspberry tea.
Waiting our turn with Candy Gram.
Getting the spritz down.
Sitting on daddy's lap while Miss Cindy gets started.
Little snippets at a time so mommy doesn't freak out.
Feeling the "tickler" the buzz cutter thingy.
Thanks Miss Cindy it wasn't so bad!
BIG BOY!!
Once he was out of the basket he was happy to play while we tried to get some basement stuff done.
