Doctors & Doggies

So I'll just start out with: Monday night was ROUGH. Like whoa. About 30 minutes after I finished yesterday's blog, Gavin woke up SCA-REAMING. I checked his gums and he finally had a little white, sharp dagger tooth poking through. 'Bout time, buddy! However, apparently this kid is going to be a rough teether! Christian would fuss a little, but nothing that Tylenol couldn't take care of. This kid? Nope. Tylenol, teething tablets, Orajel, frozen washcloths, teething toys...he wanted NOTHING. He pretty much screamed & cried from 3pm until bedtime.

Oh wait, there was that 10 minute break he took & allowed me to feed everyone dinner! Apparently peas are a popular item around the house!

Christian even came in the living room (he had been hiding out in his bedroom) several times to ask if I could please make baby Gavin stop crying. I wish, pal, I wish. Luckily, he went to bed just fine & the tooth didn't affect his sleep. Hallelujah!

There were a few good things to come out of our Monday though! I got my new headbands from, where else, Jane.com.

 I also picked up a new doggie bed for our first born fur-pup & this cute chalkboard print that I thought went perfect with my brother's picture. 

Look, ma! No crying!

Today Christian had a doctor appointment to get his eczema checked out. While getting the boys ready to leave, I usually put Gavin in his rock-n-play while I fix my hair & put on my make-up. Today, however, little dude showed me he is finally too big! WHAT am I going to do when I need to shower? The rock-n-play has been my lifesaver! RIP rock-n-play days, you will be missed!

Christian weighs in at 32 pounds and 40 inches tall! He's been 40 inches for awhile...I think he had a huge growth spurt before he turned 3 and hasn't grown any since. 

The doctor confirmed it's his eczema flaring back up & prescribed him some steroid cream. And I survived my first doctor's visit with 2 boys by myself! Once again, baby-wearing for the win!

When we got home, Gavin was looking TOO CUTE not take a bazillion photos of, so here are just a few. This is one of our Little Treasures consignment finds, and I love it! Anything with a hood & I'm sold!

Also, apparently it's National Doggie Day. We recently re-homed one of our dogs that we found a couple years back. We sure do miss him, but I'm slightly allergic to dogs & I'm hoping to help with my sinus issues by downgrading to just one. Here is Mr. Toby, whom we've had for 7 years. We got him just after my brother passed away...he was just a tiny, furry pup!

Gavin trying to steal Toby's toy...nope, not going to happen!

So happy doggie days & happy Tuesday, too!
