New Tooth!

James finally broke his sixth tooth on Monday.  Yeah!  He now has six pearly whites.  It was a rough go this time around, and there are several more on number six's heels.  There is a whole lot of drooling going on.  Teething is rough.  He had a bit of a bout with a fever the other night upon he arrival of number six.  We thought he had another ear infection.  But, thankfully, it was just the tooth.  He slept VERY poorly on Monday night when the tooth was breaking through, but last night, he made up for it by sleeping from 7PM until 6AM.  Amazing.  We just may be getting back on track sleeping.  He had great nights on Saturday and Sunday as well.  Let's see how he does tonight....

I can not believe that James is going to turn one on Sunday.  This past year has gone by so fast.  When I look at James, I can hardly believe that a whole year ago, he was just a tiny little thing.  In a way, it makes me so sad, to know that his first year is already over.  It is truly amazing how much babies change in one year.  What a year it has been.  

He is learning to shake his head when he doesn't want something.  I know that no is just around the corner.  Tonight we had a meltdown over dinner, and an early bedtime.  He just wasn't into eating tonight.  Naps at school today didn't go well, and I think he was tired and ready for bed.  

James really loves to go to school.  He has such fun playing with all of the toys, and interacting with the other kids.  His teachers report that he is the most independent baby they have.  He is always happy when he is there and enjoys having free reign of a whole area.  Not like at home where there are off limits spaces and stuff not for little babies to touch.  Good stuff.  We are so lucky to have such a wonderful place for him to go during the day.

Last week, James had his sixth plane trip.  We had such a nice visit with everyone in Orange County.  He is getting harder, though, to keep occupied on the plane.  I think that when he starts walking, it could be trouble keeping him under control.  So great to see family though.  Totally worth it.
