Broke Through....

Max has hit a HUGE milestone today....how ironic that it falls on his 9 month birthday! He has his first tooth!!!

It saw it this morning while he was eating his orange in his nifty little infant feeder...see the right side - (thanks Kristin for that one, he loves it!)

Anyway he was eating and was laughing and smiling and having a grand ole' time and I a tiny little snippet of something in his mouth...so I propped it open and there it was. It hasn't come through all the way but it's just peeking right out the top. It's on the very bottom on the right AND I think that the left one is getting ready to peak through any time!! I wish that I could have got a picture of it but I was not fast enough, but I did manage to snap a few cute ones when he was finished with his bottle and all happy!

Take Me Out...I Am Done...

This is what I would like to be doing right now....


But this is what I feel like right now...

Do you all remember about a week ago I wrote how well Max slept and for once I slept. I think that I was hallucinating. I am starting to believe that never ever happened.

For the last three nights Max has been unbearable at bed time. He is not really taking naps, with the exception of one in the morning, and by the time we are ready to put him down you can just see it in his face how tired he is. BUT that doesn't stop the Energizer Baby. He will fall asleep almost instantly when you give him the bottle and then as soon as you put him down in the crib he will stay asleep just long enough for you to get back into bed, get all comfy cozy and drift off to sleep and then...

WHAM! He is up. This was his schedule last night:

9 pm to 12 am. Sleep.
12 am to 3 am. Wake up every 1/2 hour - babble, coo, grunt, cry, cry, cry. Get Mom & Dad up pronto.
3 am. MMMM Bottle.
3:30 am to 5 am. Sleep.
5 am to now. Chill out and nap in the swing. Because Mom & Dad are on the brink of insanity after three days of this schedule give or take a few minutes of change here and there.

So here I sit gulping down some liquid gold (a.k.a coffee) trying to get my brain working while he is taking a little cat nap. I really hope to God that something breaks soon, preferably not the little bit of mind I have left but maybe some teeth or something. Maybe all 4 of his bottom ones are coming in at the same time. THAT would be great. Get it all done and over with and we can all go back to sleep.

Now that is something a girl can dream about!
