Sadie's Princess Teeth

Last Wednesday, Sadie was put under general anaesthesia to have some dental work done. We got there at an early 5:30 to get everything started before the procedure. We opted to get it done when she was asleep because she had some extensive work to be done, like 5 visits at the dentist worth. We also did not want her to have bad feelings associated with dentists. We told her she was getting princess teeth because she got crowns. In all she got 5 fillings and 3 silver crowns done. Now, before you pass judgement on me and my family for not taking care of her teeth, I would like to say some words defending myself. For the last year we have brushed her teeth 3 times a day. We floss her teeth, and before that we brushed twice a day since she was 1. The dentist thinks she has a higher bacteria count in her mouth and that the teeth that have crowns on them now had flaws in the enamel because she believes the cavity started from the inside out. The other thing is that I have crappy teeth and my mother has crappy teeth, so now I think Sadie has inherited those crappy teeth. Now you can judge.

And you can definitely judge this. Nate and I partook, as Sadie was having her procedure done, on this doughnut the size of half a loaf of french bread. Sadie did so well with everything that happened. She was happy and never once got upset about anything going on (except for her saying she couldn't wait another second for her popsicle after the procedure was done). The only thing she complained about later that day was that her gums were a bit sore and she had a cut on the inside of her cheek. I was so relieved that everything went so well.

Happy Half Birthday!

Juliette is already 6 months old! It has gone by so fast. The girls and I celebrated by making cupcakes. Even though Juliette didn't get any, she pulled a fast one on me and got her little fingers in the frosting as I was taking the picture. Here are some of the things she is been up to.

She can sit all by herself, but not lately. She wants to move so badly that she leans forward, gets up on her toes and goes onto her tummy. She also wants to see what everyone is doing, so she knocks herself over as she tries to turn to see us.

She likes to breath in and out of her nose really fast and loves it when we do it back to her. She is a very smiley baby, but it takes a lot to get her to laugh. She does not really giggle or squeal. She is very quiet. We get comments about this a lot. She does her share of crying (in the car and nap time) and she has times of the day when she babbles, but she does a lot of listening without making a sound. We will be at friends houses and they will say that they forgot she was even there because she is so quiet.

This little girl has her front two bottom teeth. They are cute, but she can sure bite.

The last few days she has started scooting backwards when she is on her tummy. She really wants to get somewhere, but sadly she is moving in the opposite direction. I guess it is about that time that I need to figure out my stair situation. Juliette has been a great addition to our family. We all love her sooooo very much.
