A New Tooth and a New Car

Liz's first tooth started coming in soon after the last blog, and her second one is coming in now. Both are in the bottom middle. She's handling the transition pretty well, with no changes in her sleep. Speaking of sleep, she's unfortunately still getting up once a night.
The other big news is that we bought our minivan, a Honda Odyssey. We're glad the process is over, and we're happy with it so far. But Sam, by far, is the most excited. The first couple days he would shout out "a new car!" at very random times. He even woke up at midnight talking about it. He loves exploring through all three rows of seats, pushing every button he can reach.

In other news:
-Our irrigation is installed. Ten minutes after the first test, Sam fell in the mud and got stuck. This picture is after we took off his clothes and calmed him down.


-Liz got a new bumbo seat, which helps her sit upright. She seems to enjoy it.

-Sam and Dave went to a baseball game. Sam liked walking up and down the aisles before the game. But once the game started, he only lasted one inning before asking to go home.


-Liz has started creeping on the floor. She is very mobile!

-In non-news, Liz's eyes are still blue. By this age, Sam's had already turned brown. So we're thinking there's a good chance that Liz's will stay blue.

A couple things to note in this video. First, Liz loves grabbing her feet and slapping five. Second, near the end Sam gives a fist-bump and then "blows it up". This isn't his best attempt, since he's distracted by cartoons. But you'll get the idea.




There are new pictures in both the August 2010 and September 2010 folders.



Teaser: Sam and Melanie have been practicing a dance routine to a Fresh Beat Band song. We plan to have a video of it for the next posting.
