Houston We Have a Tooth!

Austin is 10 1/2 months old and he has FINALLY decided to get a tooth! It hasn't popped all the way through but you can see and feel this little sharp point sticking up. You know what this means?......Momma doesn't have to make baby food for the rest of her life because he will eventually have teeth and can eat real food!! Yeehaw! The past couple of weeks have had a lot of firsts for us so try to keep up! Austin had his first haircut, yup my little baby is now a little boy with a clean cut neck line and everything. It is really neat because my boss Cyndi, gave me my first haircut when I was three, and now she gave Austin his first haircut....he was soooo good too! Didn't mind his haircut and wasn't even scared of the neck trimmers, I am a proud momma! Austin and Taylie had their first walk in a double stroller and LOVED it! They were both so good and enjoyed being next to each other. They would trade toys and hold each others hands and occasionally kick each others feet. It was really fun! Another first, Austin is done nursing! Especially now that the tooth is coming in, no more boobie for him! It wasn't even that hard to wean him either. I thought it would be a nightmare because he won't take a bottle and only wants water in his sippy cup, but he seemed fine with it. I was only nursing him about 3 times a day anyways, before each of his naps and before bed, so it was fairly easy to quit that. I just sit and rock him with his paci and put him in his bed and he is fine. Doesn't even seem like he misses it! And now the past couple of nights I haven't nursed him in the middle of the night. So yep we're done! I'm trying to get him to drink whole milk but no matter how much I dilute it he hates it, he just wants water! Oh well, we'll get there. More big news, we have a little boy who sleeps thru the night!! Woohooo!!! We finally had to bite the bullet and leave him in his bed to cry because he was waking up earlier and earlier in the night and wanting to sleep in bed with us. So the first night he wasn't so sure what was going on and why momma wouldn't go get him, so I babied him and kept going in every 15 minutes or so and laying him back down and soothing him back to sleep and he did allll right, not great but we made it through. But the second night, lord have mercy! I wasn't sure if either one of us would survive. He woke up at 10:30, cried off and on until 11:30, then woke up at 12:30 and cried off and on till 2:30 then woke up at 4:00.....by that point I put him in bed with us, I was exhausted and needed to sleep too! But the third night, was AMAZING! He didn't wake up until 2:30, rolled over and went right back to sleep until 6:30. And every night he has been doing so well....no more crying or nothing. If he wakes up he just finds his paci and goes back to sleep. What a big boy! Anyways, that is enough for now, hope you can understand my ramblings!!
