Teething, No Sleep, and A Wedding

AAAAGGHHH!!! Charlie is teething again, big time. He already had 8 teeth by 10 months old, so this is nothing new, but now that he is more vocal about what he needs or what is wrong -- this is not fun! The MD said those molars are coming in, and yep, I felt them when I was brushing his teeth last night...

...And of course, last night, I am assuming that his mouth hurting was the cause of him fussing most of the night, and not really napping here today either. Needless to say, we are EXHAUSTED at the Breeden house right now. This is my weekend to work, so pray for a full night of sleep the next few nights! It is hard to take care of 4-5 patients well with little sleep!

As for the wedding, our nanny Abby is getting married this evening as we speak! She and Evan will have a quick honeymoon at Callaway Gardens for the weekend since Evan has to return to work Monday (and was not even allowed to take today off work!). Congratulations to them both!

Alison asked about another of Charlie's 'firsts' -- the official turning-around of the car seat! Yep, we were finally able to do that, and Charlie looked a little confused at first, but he seemed get adjusted pretty quickly -- here is a picture of our big boy FACING FRONT!!





Here's to hoping for a good weekend at work -- hope everyone has a good weekend as well!

for me 7 hrs is a good amount of sleep, 6 is normal and I can (and have several times) function ok on 4. On the weekend I get to sleep in, sometimes even getting 8 hrs... heaven! Meg can sleep for 12, I don't know how she does it. Charlie is getting so big! It seems like yesterday that you brought him home from the hospital. ~Dave
