No More Toothless Grin!

So, Kyle didn't need to sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth" because he GOT THEM!! On November 19th his bottom left tooth came in, and on November 28th his bottom right tooth came in! The teething process was difficult at times, you just wish there was more you could do for your baby when they're going through this. Of course, we knew it was starting because the chomping on things and amount of drool was increasing exponentially!! So with some middle of the night wake-ups, and the help of a few doses of Motrin, a mesh snack bag filled with frozen fruits and ice cubes, Kyle's 2 teeth finally came in! I have to say, we never thought we'd love anything more than that gummy smile that Kyle sported for 6 months - but this new 2-tooth-smile is absolutely adorable, too!! :)

First Words!

The days arrived that Adam and I have been waiting for...Kyle said "Mumma" (12/4/2010) and "Dadda" (12/5/2010)!! We started out with a lot of babbling and just recently he put the sounds together and at just about 7 months, he did it! The jury is still out as to whether or not he actually knows what he is saying, but all that seems to matter to us is that he said it!! He has also added "ba-ba" to his repertoire and there is a good chance that he picked that up from us calling him "Bubba" since he was born! Here are the videos to show off his verbal skills :)

Mumma....


Dadda...

I'm trying to catch up on the blog entries, so I'm backtracking a bit (forgive me, as a full-time working mom, blogging can't be my first priority, and as much as I try to keep it up there on the list, I lose sight of it!)

Kyle was baptised on Sunday, November 14th at Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Halifax. We are blessed to have my cousin, Jenn, and Adam's childhood friend Adam, as Kyle's Godparents. It was a really nice ceremony. Only one other baby, besides Kyle, was baptized which made for a really intimate ceremony. We had about 60 close family members and friends join us for the ceremony and a luncheon afterwards at Grille 58 in Halifax.

Here are some pictures of the day!
