The Anderson Family: Teething Pains

Teething Pains

We think Holiday is starting to teethe. She's been drooling like crazy, gnawing on her hands and fingers and our fingers too, diarrea, nighttime fussiness, and even pulls at her ear a little bit. All symptoms of teething. All the mommies that I've talked to think it's teething too. We have a new babysitter, Jill, for my days in the office and without hesitation she thinks it's definitely teething. Jill has a 5 year old son, Hayden, that will be a little playmate for Holly. Holly does pretty good with babysitters, by the time we pick her up is about when fussiness begins so most of the day she's all smiles...and we'll probably have some little pearly whites soon. :) I'm also moving from 0-3 mo. sizes to 3-6 mo. for her. We bought her a few new outfits to complement the ones we already had. So I'll be going through her clothes again to put the stuff that she's outgrown into storage.

gramlinda said...: Glad Holy is fine. Teething can be a BEAR for both parents and baby. For me, the first two bottom teeth were the worst, but the top ones were bothersome, too(huge runny noses). Will send a package in a couple weeks with cloth (chewey) books and some clothes. Love, Grandma Linda; August 6, 2009 at 7:58 PM

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
