The battle of the buldge...ing gums

This past weekend we started the battle of Ivorie getting teeth. She has been crabby and fussy, and now we have noticed that her gums are starting to buldge out and you can see the outline of teeth. Really she is doing great and besides a few days of crying and wanting to be held and one night of no sleep, you wouldn't even know that she is getting teeth. Well the pools of drool that are constantly surrounding her might give it away. Compared to some of the kids that come into the clinic with ear infections, fevers, congestion, and runny green noses, when they are popping a tooth, this is great. I might be cursing myself because she could wake up any day with one of these things. We are hoping that she doesn't!

We are getting ready for Ivorie's Baptism on Sunday. So far she has very cute shoes, and no they are not white, they are gold... she's gotta be stylish, and also cute clips, they are white, and a diaper cover, but no dress yet. Leave it to mom to procrastinate something as important as the baptism dress. Going shopping tomorrow since I have the day off. We are meeting Nana in st. cloud and going to the mall and we hope we find something good! Then we are going to order a cake... and have decided that it just isn't right to get a cake with a picture of jesus on it, all though it would be pretty funny!

Lance's trap team finally won their division last night. They were in the silver division and next year will be in the gold (ivorie has cute shoes daddy could wear to the first gold division shoot!) We are proud of the entire team, but mostly Lance!

First things First

Here is our first post on our new blog... as most of you will guess, I, Joni will probably be doing most of the updating, and I will try so hard to update more often then I did the pregnancy blog.

So to put an end to great week, Ivorie was in such a great mood all week, my day off was great she smiled all day and then I had the dreaded task of dropping my lovely daughter off at daycare this morning. I swear it's my least favorite thing to do in the world. Lance has the good part of the deal because he gets to pick her up! When I got off work Ivorie was a crabby girl! She is never crabby... we tried rocking and swaying and patting the tush, which usually works. Not tonight she was just fussy and whiny. We had to have dinner so tonight it was squash, which I would assume she loved because she ate the whole jar, but I really can't be too sure because she was whining the entire time I fed her. She would open wide for a big bite, swallow and make a whiny noise, and repeat. Then we had a little tylenol because I assume that she must be teething because there is no other reason that my perfect baby can be crabby. We got on our Jammies, and nursed, and passed out. So maybe my crabby baby was just overly tired! HA!

Lance is glued to the Vikings game, I'm sure you are all suprised! We are going to have some adult time, which usually means clean the kitchen fold some laundry and go to bed... Mommy has to work in the morning... UGH!
