Ty got his first tooth but.....

Hey there folks!!

Well...it finally happened. Actually a couple of things finally happened...overnight on Feb.21st, 2006, one day before his 7 month birthday, his first tooth pushed through his bottom jaw. We saw it first earlier on the 20th, but it waited till he went to bed to come out. We are very excited because a lot of kids have quite a few teeth by this age, but we knew they would start coming.

Another first which happily coincided with the first tooth was his first ear infection as well as baby bronchitis!! What a week!! So after a week of a pretty bad cough we went to the doc on Monday and found out all that good news. So now we are on a nebulizer (sp?) and Amoxicillin in addition to baby Tylenol for his tooth ache. And if this wasn't enough...Dad has a full blown head/chest cold just to make the whole house a mess. Tonight Mommy came home and said she thought she might be getting a cold too. Wouldn't that be the best!!!?!!!

But first and foremost is to try and get our little guy back on the road to recovery. He's got a big trip in a couple of weeks to Myrtly Beach and his cousin/aunt/uncle's house. It's going to be Purdue's spring break then and the whole family will be out there for 5 days. I think he sounds better after just one day on all the medicine, so hopefully we won't take this junk out there with us.

Just thought we would share this milestone of our baby with the world. Yeah...our first tooth!! Have a great week and continued good health.
