Last week was a mess with Sam battling a virus/stomach bug and teething. But her 9 month dr appointment last Monday went great! The dr seemed please with her weight gain (still 10th percentile) and encouraged more finger and table foods. She was happy with her developmental milestones and I felt really good leaving the office. I felt accomplished and proud of the little lady. Then all hell broke loose an hour later with the bug but we're making it through slowly but surely.
teeth : who needs ‘em anyway
I know I am jinxing myself because I'm sure this could be one million times worse but I hate teething. It makes my happy baby irritable. It makes my happy baby feverish. It makes my happy baby overall just not herself. But I still got a big handful of smiles today so I'm thankful for that.

Phew, it's been a while. Not a whole lot happened until this weekend though so not much missed. Samantha is teething and the little bugger just won't show itself. It's made for some pretty crabby days, messed up nonexistent naps, and awful nights. We all could use a break so hopefully the tooth decides to pop through soon.
But this was a great weekend! Saturday Michelle came over and hung out with the moose and we bbq-ed, yummy! Today we accomplished a lot; breakfast out, the zoo, and a trip to Auntie Ash's! It was really crowded once we got to the zoo but we managed to see a lot (tropic world, living coast, giraffes, kangaroos, aardvarks, bears...) and of course, the dinosaurs! Adam and I really liked the dinosaurs. Samantha was exhausted by this point so she just chilled in the maclaren looking at the other kids. She didn't nap before we got to Ash & Vinnie's but she did ok : ) We were there to meet little Ivy Avila! She's just the most adorable little puppy, a 7 week old shitzu. I don't envy the potty training they will now endure but it's so much fun to add a new little addition to the family.
That basically sums up the last five days...teething, bbq, zoo, new puppy. Oh, and plums. Success with plums.
