The final teeth...

The kids, specifically the boys, have been quite fussy the last few days. I did a check in their mouths on Monday afternoon and the boys are getting their final teeth. I could actually see one of Gordon's had broken through the gums already.  Since the two of them proceeded to cry off and on for almost 2 hours after I checked, I decided I wouldn't check anymore.

Walt has been the most lap-dependent boy since Monday and that is not like him at all. Gordon has mostly been himself, but just very whiny.  The whining has even begun affecting Adele, who started showing signs of strain today.  

But, I've managed to keep the kids distracted some (though today that was almost impossible) and so we've had some good times amongst the teething.

Last Friday, I had a migraine on the most beautiful day in months, so since then, if we even have 20 minutes of sun, I've been trying to take the kids outside to enjoy it.

Walt and Adele were cracking each other up over the back of the chair.

Gordon woke from his nap and lay around for 2 hours after I checked his teeth.

After dinner and baths, the boys were MUCH better

The next morning, the boys were back to unhappy

Walt spent the morning on my lap and cried anytime I had to put him down

Adele was in a great mood. Here she's playing with a monkey pillow pet saying "ooh, oooh, oooh, oooh."

That afternoon we went to the store and then outside. That perked the boys right up!

Adele and Gordon sat in the chairs for a while, but Walt just wanted to play up, down, up down.

Building with bristle blocks this morning before our playgroup friends arrived.

Gordon spent most of his time throwing the blocks off the table and having me fetch them.
