Mouthing off.....

A lot has been going on with Jeremy's mouth lately. Over the last few weeks 3 more teeth have SLOWLY been working their way into the gum line. At home, he's been the same. Or I just ignore the whining and he gets over it at daycare. But when I take him to the nursery at church or the kids room at the gym, the tooth pain and mommy leaving has been too much. He will cry the entire time. I just got in the habit of giving him some ibuprofen about 30 minutes before we went somewhere. That's helped a lot.


Graig wanted to get a picture of Jeremy in his new Yankee shirt that he got for his birthday. Jeremy was not in the mood.


This picture was a few weeks ago. Jeremy didn't know it then, but it was one of his last snuggle times with his afternoon bottle. He has moved on to almost drinking everything out of a sippy cup, except his bedtime bottle. But I am sure that will go soon as soon as Graig and I are ready to give that up (the routine of bath, bottle, pass out without any fuss). So Jeremy might bring a little attitude soon at bedtime.
Oh man now this is what I am excited about! Yesterday morning I made the bread dough and stuffed the sammies before church. Stuffed sammies are soo yummy. When we walked in I could smell the dough (made me think of donuts actually).

The best part of making the stuffed sammies is that we got to individualize the sammies. Graig had oh so much meat in there (it was a lot of fun rolling the dough back together).Action shot!

My sammy had two kinds of yummy melted cheese. Plus technically I'm not suppose to eat lunchmeat cold or at room temperature. Yeah I soooo follow that rule. PS I wonder how long it will be until my mom makes this after seeing the awesome pictures?

Back to Jeremy and how this all comes together. Since Jeremy isn't drinking 32 ounces of milk anymore, his appetite has sure picked up! Man this kid eats and eats and eats and eats. And then he eats some more! It's so nice to not be feeding him and have my hands free during meal time. Usually that means I am cleaning or loading/unloading the dishwasher without Jeremy's help.
I came up to Jeremy while he was eating and took a piece of his sandwich. After all it was Graig's so I had to try it too. Jeremy turned and gave me the funniest look. "Hey how dare you take my food!" Even though I can't eat anything without him begging to give it to him.
Ah yes this is Graig's favorite part of the post. I'll let him explain....

After a couple stops at Lowes and HH Gregg to look at dishwashers, Jeremy was about ready to go home. However, we needed to go to Kroger to get him some milk and other food for us. To keep Jeremy entertained while he is sitting in the shopping cart, we will give him some of the items that we are going to buy. We gave him a box of soup packets, because they rattle and make noise. After a few minutes of him having the box, I looked down and he was munching away. Below are the results. I managed to get some of the card board out of his mouth, he ate the rest.
