ch-ch-ch-changes!

They say the only thing that never changes in life is change. Or something like that anyway.

C is getting braces on Monday! Its only phase 1, on the front 4 teeth on the top of her mouth. but whoa. Big changes.  she was having a big problem with teeth coming in behind other teeth and 2 different orthodontists said she needed to get into braces and get that fixed right away (cross bite).  Then in a few years when she is older she will get braces on the rest. If you could see my kids teeth. When the adult teeth started coming in all I could see were dollar signs.  Luckily A - who will most likely have the same problem - has been told that she needs a few more years before starting. Whew.

Baby E is growing and changing as well.  his newest trick is that he growls.  he loves to make the noise and loves the attention it gets him.  If he gets a response, he will keep on growling. Or if you growl back he will keep on going.  Until he gets tired.

He has a great sense of adventure.  the other day I had been washing wool and was spreading it out on a sheet in the front yard (its the sunniest place and no neighbors to complain!)  and he was with me.  He started crawling away (first time he has crawled on grass really) and crawled clear over to the trees lining our private lane.  Then he turned and crawled towards the side yard.  And then started crawling towards the back yard.  At this point I was calling to him trying to get him to come back.  He wasn't responding and then I couldn't see him anymore because he was on the side of the house.  What you don't realize is that our yard is huge and the kid had gone really really far. I wasn't comfy with it anyway.  so I finished the bit of wool I was spreading and kept leaning over and yelling for him.  He finally turned and then realized how far he was.  At that point he started crawling back to me and cried the whole way. It was pretty funny.  When he finally got back to me I gave him a hug and a few minutes later he was off again!  He loves to explore.

  1. Braces! Whoa!! Can't even imagine.
    We have a growler as well, although it sounds like hers happens less often and for not quite as long. But very cute to have little growlers at this age. :)
