Dinah has cut her 7th tooth! This one is a molar on the upper left. I have no idea when it actually popped through. I was tickling her on my lap and she would throw her head back and that is when I saw something in her mouth. Upon closer inspection it proved to be the starts of her molar popping through!

Ethan’s 6 year check-up
Well Ethan had his 6 year check-up today. When I said that it was time to leave he ran and hid. 🙁 He weighed in at 38.6 pounds wich is like 3 pounds less than he weighed when he went in about 3 weeks ago for the strep throat (but that time he was wearing his jacket and shoes and this time he wasn’t). I am really concerned for Ethan, being 6 years old and only 38 pounds. Last year at his 5 year check up he weighed 36 pounds so over the year he has only gained 2.6 pounds, which just isn’t a lot. He is now 44 inches tall so he gained 2 1/2 inches of height over the year. We also had the doctor check out his throat since he was complaining that it was hurting again. And he has a strep throat relapse, so the doctor prescribed a different antibiotic this time so that it would be more effective.

Baby is getting bigger
I am 16 weeks along and felt the baby move for the first time today. That is always so exciting. 😀 It’s still so small and I have to be paying attention to be able to feel it move. Before I know it, I won’t be able to get it to stop moving. 😛 Oh the joys of being pregnant. I am still not showing very much, but that is normal for me. I am finding certain clothes to be too tight though. I am just greatful that I have these jeans that hang low on my hips, so I should be able to wear them for awhile still (even if they are the only pair of jeans that fit right now). 🙂
Ethan’s 6th birthday part 2
We had a family dinner tonight to celebrate Ethan’s birthday. Daddy was home and Debby and her boyfriend Jeff came out, and Wendy got home from work in time to spend the evening with us. I made a couple of homemade pizza’s and Kyle made some breadsticks to go with. Yummmm
Ethan only had one piece of pizza then rushed to the living room asking everybody else why they weren’t done yet and telling everyone to finish eating so he could open his presents. Silly boy. Everyone took their sweet time in eating dinner and when everyone was finished we moved to the living room so Ethan could open his presents.
When he was finished opening his presents, I put on a home video from when I was about 6 years old so we could watch the scene where Debby was about 3 years old or so and she was throwing a major fit. 😀 It was awesome. I think Debby quite enjoyed laughing at herself.
Then it was cake time. Ethan picked a butter pecan cake, and I went to make it this afternoon and discovered that we didn’t have any more cooking oil. So Kyle got some cooking oil on his way home from work and I finished making the cake and baked it after dinner came out of the oven. So by the time we got around to eating the cake, it was still warm. 🙂 It was very nice. I decorated the cake by putting Ethan’s name in m&m’s across the top and a 6 under his name. I had asked Kyle to get the candles out of the cupboard for me and he found a box of Hanukkah candles. So he asked Ethan if he wanted BIG candles on his cake. Ethan’s eyes got really big and with a huge grin Ethan whispered “YA!” It was so funny.
