Someone switched my child overnight.

And gave me a fussy toddler that can't cut that dang molar! He was once the most behaved child and I could take him ANYWHERE! I even thought about taking him to a movie! But NOW, he screams, kicks, pulls, bites, (add verb here), etc. He bit my sister on her toe & leg today, and has bitten me on the shoulder. By the looks of it he's preparing for a career in vampirism.

I KNOW it's because he is teething. Poor baby is a drooling monster and constantly has his fingers in his mouth. Of course, I can't touch his gums because he wails whenever I get near them. He's stuck his fingers so far down his mouth he threw up on himself. And stunk like curdled, regurgitated milk. EWWWWWWW.

Arg. I used to be able to have a nice sit down dinner. Now Petey & I are taking turns walking him outside so he's not deafening the entire restaurant.

Besides Tylenol (which I give to him on a daily basis - and I hate that because I feel like I'm just drugging him) the only cure is time. And I HATE waiting!

Honestly, I feel sorry for him. Poor child can't get a break. He's got 8 teeth right now and working on - what seems like - the other 24.

Appreciate the Curls

And appreciate the fact I had to take a picture with one hand, while holding my son in the other, and while he is fussing because I won't let him down to play with his toys.

Okay, that's all.

Sorry.

So an apology to say that I'm sorry I haven't blogged. Things have been quite crazy in the Hendricks house and I haven't had a time to sit and think.

SO, here's an update!

George Thomas is FINALLY crawling on all fours. At least on carpet. This whole time he's been doing the "military crawl" where he scoots on his belly. Now he's got his legs under him and is actually crawling. Surprisingly, this is exciting for us, even though I should be saying that he is walking. But he isn't walking yet. Just happily cruising along the furniture. Which is really fine.

We are still drinking out of the bottle. I'm going to need to cut that out soon. I said I would tackle it over the summer and my goodness how the summer has come so quickly! So, that's my plan, I hope it works.

He is still taking 2 naps during the day. He really needs to be down to 1, but I don't want to do that to him. The poor baby needs his sleep. And if he gets up at 4:30am a couple of times a week for a bottle, then it's okay. At least, I think so.

So he's in size 2T now and wears 5 diapers. We are still using the 4 diapers because we have them, but are now buying 5's. He's got the curliest hair ever. It's so funny. My hair isn't that curly and Petey's isn't either. So I guess it's a fluke!

Anyway, that's pretty much it. Again, sorry for the delay in updating. A picture below to hold you over. From May 5, 2008.

Ooooh, look at that baby in the mirror!
