Hee hee hee....goof! I was trying to get a good shot of her teeth, but she wouldn't crack a smile, even with Josh being completely ridiculous behind me. She was in good spirits today, up until bedtime. She's had 3 (!!) bottles already, instead of the usual 1. During her bath last night I noticed rolls where she previously did not have rolls, so I think she is plumping up for a good ol' fashioned growth spurt. That, combined with teething - I don't imagine there will be a lot of sleeping going on in this house. :(

I'm pretty sure she was praying for pain relief. Paige was screaming (and I do mean screaming) all day today. I finally got a good look in her mouth, and sure enough, 2 bottom teeth! Yikes.

Happy Halloween from our little ladybug and Elmo! After all the tears and tantrums with his firefighter costume, Josh didn't think there was any point in trying to dress Wyatt up. Wyatt still had it in his head that he wanted to go trick or treating, but he wanted to be a monster truck, or Cookie Monster. We went to Walmart this afternoon, and it was so picked over. Superstore had a few more options, and I lucked out with Elmo. It took a little cajoling to get Wyatt into the costume, and a little more to get him to go trick or treating, but once he figured out what happens when you say "trick or treat", he was all for it. :) Josh and Paige went back home, and we hit up about 10 houses. I only brought with a small paper lunch bag for Wyatt, thinking he wouldn't want to be out for very long, but even after his bag was jam-packed, he wanted to keep going! I'm glad he enjoyed it. :)

I call this "The Reluctant Firefighter." He wanted to be a firefighter for Halloween, so I found a costume for him. Then he didn't want to wear the hat or the jacket. I bribed him with Smarties and took a picture because dammit, he looked cute.

This isn't exactly what I had in mind for Paige's Halloween costume! After her nap this afernoon, she was just so incredibly fussy. Then I noticed her eye was getting red, and tearing up even if she wasn't crying. By the time Josh came home from work at 3, it was starting to get swollen too. I quickly brought her into the walk-in, and the doctor swabbed her eye (!) and then put drops in to see if there was a scratch. Sure enough, right across her pupil and iris. So now I have to give her eyedrops (sooooo easy to do on a baby), and she is supposed to wear an eyepatch to keep her from blinking and irritating it further. She's really thrown off by it, and honestly just sad. After we left the clinic she just rested her head on my shoulder and didn't move - and anyone who knows her knows that is not like her at all. Hopefully after a few days it'll be good as new, but we do have to go to the optomestrist for a 2nd look on Monday.

Wyatt loves to make wrinkles in his nose now, and asks me to do it all the time too. I'm just waiting for him to point out the ones I have that I don't have to try to make, ha ha. :P

Sorry kiddo, I don't know how that happened either.
