Max has (almost) outgrown his favourite toy in the entire world, his "Jolly Jumper" (Thanks Aunt Carrie). Even on the highest setting, his feet can touch the floor (flat).
Besides, our public health nurse said that he shouldn't be in it for more than one hour a day. To which I replied, "One hour a day, try ten. We let him nap in it". You should have seen her face.
Once again, in the court of public opinion, I win first price for "Mother who Neglects her Kids the Most". But in the court of my kids, I win the award for "Best Mother that lets us Break (almost) all the Rules".
I tried to upload a video of him whirling and twirling but I'm having problems.

I Spoke Too Soon
I’m sure it won’t be the last time either.
Max has been crying a lot of real tears today. This morning, I looked in his mouth and to my surprise, saw that tooth “O” (bottom left) was ALSO coming in! In case you're counting, that's TWO teeth in TWO days. Poor kid.
Note that Ed is currently in Ottawa (on business) and will be buying every teething product and remedy that the city has to offer! We'll let you know what works.
Last night we went to our neighbours (The Munroes) for dinner. Max wore his snazzy tie
and Artemis donned her favourite hat.

Max's First Tooth!
I always knew that Max would be the first one to get a tooth. A mother just knows...
Over the past few days, Max has been having a long nap in the morning and afternoon. This was refreshing after 1 month of almost no naps for either of them. We didn't think much of it. Heck, we're tired, why wouldn't they be.
Yesterday, he had a fussy period in the afternoon for almost 2 hours. For the first time, I didn't automatically think "maybe he's teething". Nor was he drooling or chewing on things (anymore than usual).
This morning, while he was chewing on my finger, I felt the little spikes of tooth "P" (bottom, right). It's only just broken through the surface but you can see it. Pictures to follow when it's more visible.
People have made me so terrified of teething. If a bit of fussiness is all we get for having his teeth come in, we'll take it! Only time will tell.
His first tooth, they're growing up so fast, sigh.

Neglect on the Decline
Unfortunately, the "Swings of Neglect" are no longer serving their purpose.
"Miss Contortionist/Escape Artist" can get out of hers (even with the safety straps)
and "Mr See How Smart I Am" always grabs the sides and stops himself from rocking.
You know you're in trouble when your 7 months olds are smarter than the two of you, combined...
We haven't posted in awhile but that doesn't mean that we haven't been thinking of you. Nanna came for a 5 day visit and we got tons of stuff done; eye appointments, doctor appointments, shopping, Friday Night Auction, and Date Night. For the first time in almost one year, Ed and I went out for a nice dinner.
Next up, Uncle Andrew comes to visit for Thanksgiving and Poppa shows up shortly thereafter to help Sarah babysit (while Ed is in Dallas for one week on business).
Keep sending us emails so that we know how you're doing!
