Matthew has finally had another tooth come in.  It’s been a few days in the making, he’s been running a fever and  alternating between grumpy and clingy.  Also, he’s been biting down on his hard plastic toys.  His face would go bright red and he’d shake his head like a dog attacking a chew toy.  Then he’d scream.  So it’s been a trying few days for him.  But now that it’s erupted, I hope he’ll feel better soon.

The new tooth is on the same side as his other side tooth, so now he has all four front teeth, and two extra on his right side.  That’s my genetics causing the weird dental issues.

Today we went to White Pine beach with a group of moms and their babies.  I guess I need to say toddlers now that they are all over a year.  We all had so much fun! There was sand in every single crevice on Matthew’s body. But he didn’t care!  He dove into the water a few times and took in some water but recovered nicely after I swooped and saved him.   He got a little more timid around the water after those few times. The funniest part of the day was when he strolled up to some bikini wearing teenagers and started dancing to their music and then just stood there and stared at them. I couldn’t figure out what was going on and then I discovered he was jonesing for their french fries. Lets just say my son is not SKINNY.  Although he is starting to thin out from all the exercise he does.   He keeps us both SO busy!  Here are some pictures

These are a few pictures from our camping trip up to NOrth Bend with Erik and Jodi.
