Swimming and Teething

Well this has been a very...exciting past week ( or more...it seems like more...). Both kids are teething, as you can see Roarke is putting everything in his mouth from biter biscuits to brushes (I think he likes it as it's got a lot of bristles to gnaw on!). Last night he was up every 3 hours or so and then Ada decided why not wake up early too? She usually sleeps from 9-8:30 or so, I know I am lucky, but the stars were against me today. But both kids are really great and it kills me to see them this way. I can't really do anything to help but give them Tylenol every few hours as this seems to work much better than orajel. Also, Roarke started swimming lessons too last Monday. He LOVED it by the way. So I had Roarke and Josh had Ada, and I think Josh felt a little self conscious being the only man within miles and he didn't much like singing the songs like, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean!! But we all had fun and are glad we found a place nearby where we can do this.

and then Adas' brush and her CTR bracelet


ahhhh, this feels so good!!

a very unhappy Ada as she had 101 degree temp and stayed on the couch for 2.5 hours!! Which is huge for her as she likes to be able to move around a lot.

Awww! She feels so miserable.

Now she's feeling better! This happened before her fever from teething so much though, right before we left for swimming lessons.

JAWS

So if you'll look closely, this is what we saw when we woke up this morning. Roarkes' hair has quite the wave to it that when just seen over the top of his crib, is very reminiscent of JAWS. I even got a video file of it and I am currently working on setting it to the JAWS theme music so be on the lookout for that!
Roarke, aka JAWS
very strong legs and very impatient to get into the bath tub


making a mess as usual

REALLY wanting her picture taken too

Look at our little stud! Doesn't he look ready to play rugby or something preppy?

a much better view
