Beach story #1:
So as you may remember from an earlier post, Audrey decided to grow her first tooth during our transition from Houston to Fairfax over Memorial Day weekend...very pleasant for us all as we were all 4 sharing one room. Since then there had been no additional developments on the tooth front.
In Destin the Hadden clan got the master bedroom in the villa this year (yeah!!). We were very clever and made the girls their own room in the walk-in closet. There was enough room for 2 pack-n-plays and it had its own air vent, light, and door. It worked so great, that next year they will also be sleeping in the closet. Of course the closet is still in the bedroom so quarters were rather close. Which of course means that it is time to grow a tooth!!
So little Audrey grew her second tooth on Monday or Tuesday...right next to the first one on the bottom. To recap, her first tooth was the bottom right and now she has the bottom left as well.
Since April, Brooke has been acting like she is getting a tooth (yes I have read on the internet that it can take months) but recently she really seemed like a tooth was just on the verge - lots of drooling, pulling things across her gums, unexplained crankiness. So like a good mom, when it seemed like it was really hurting her, I have been applying Orajel to her little bottom gums. Imagine my surprise when we discovered her first tooth on Friday and it was in fact on the upper gums!! That's right her first tooth is the upper left tooth - completely opposite of Audrey! (on the up side, together they could chew!) And alas, my orajeling was pretty much useless...fortunately for her, D was always very thorough and applied liberally to all gums. This is pretty much a useless picture as you can't even really see the tooth, but it is there. I will work toward getting an actual picture, but in the interest of fairness, here it is:
This picture is totally unrelated, but this is part of what I like to call the Bitter Beer Face:

Ah, those were the days. We used Hurricane cream for Aidan. We really only had to use it for his first couple of teeth. You can get it behind the counter at a drug store.
We got your change of address form today. Thanks!
