We have had some pretty big steps taken by young men in our household recently!
(Anything in the last 2 months is recently to me.)
Sam got braces.
It is not that we are freaking out about the aesthetics of his merely 8 year-old smile, it is that he had a pretty bad cross bite that needed braces, in addition to a palate expander. He's been very stalwart about the braces. They're no prob! The palate expander, on the other hand, has us all longing for ear plugs at the dinner stable...er, table. *Ssssshllurp!*
Joey lost his first regularly-scheduled tooth.
He is eating gingerly these days, with 2 more wiggly teeth getting ready to launch.
Adam learned to pee into an empty water-bottle.
It was an emergency...a DIRE emergency. We were STUCK in a traffic jam, surrounding by witnesses, and the pitch of his whimpering warned me that we only had about 30 more seconds to disaster. What was a mommy to do? He didn't spill one drop--what a champ!
No mommy could be more proud.
Be sure to expand this picture, because it's a great one.

Good Milestones. Boy, the palate expander has changed Sam's looks, he looks much older. Glad the crossbite is better. You and Grant both had bad crossbites and needed the palate expander. I love all your new pictures. Did you take them? They were all taken in your back yard;
Actually. Catherine took them the same day she took the prego pictures of me. Isn't she great? They were taken in her back yard.
Wow, hat a HUGE accomplishment for Adam! Little boys have to learn the essentials. I'm still laughing:)
Kristina
Bwahahaha. Impressive skills for Adam!!
Cool picture of Samuel - how's he doing with the pain?
Joey - yay! That's how teeth are supposed to come out - the EASY way! Poor, sweet boy.
I love the milestones! I had braces and a palate expander when I was Sam's age.
empty bottle in an emergency?? that's awesome! a definite plus to having boys. i don't think we would dare try that one in this house ;)
