Swing swing swing

After a long 2.5 hours at pre school, sometimes you just have to blow off steam.  We often play at the school playground afterwards when the weather is nice.  The weather has been nice enough that the snow has retreated back to a few soggy patches or giant mountains ahead of the latest blizzard.  Surprisingly, most of the kids at his school left right after the bell, but our boy wanted to linger on.  And why not?  He fortunately brought a friend to push on the swing.

Worth a few sleepless nights

Baby had started to sleep through the night, and it was magical.  However, the spell was broken this past week, with several episodes in one night, then one episode per night.  Regression is tough.

Right before his first birthday, I noticed he was get tube his first tooth. Yeah!  A little behind normal,  but I'll take it.  He wasn't acting grumpy at all like I'd been led to expect.  Cutting teeth is difficult, painfully business,  but baby was doing it without a whimper!

But now comes the second round.  It looked like he was getting a top lateral incisor, rather than the other central incisor on the bottom.  Weird, but okay.  It's hard to follow the progress of the little tooth buds, because baby won't exactly show them off.  Once in a while, you can catch a glimpse.

Yes, Andrew is holding baby upside down.

It's hard to see, but it looks to me like all FOUR top teeth are coming at once.  Or dropping, but only one has cut.  Or something.  I'm not sure of the terminology.   

So congrats, baby.  You're in for a rough ride.

On a separate note, Andrew got off early on Friday, so we took the opportunity to visit the open house for the new Ft Collins temple.  It's going on for another week or so, but Saturday is super crowded.  It is beautiful, of course, with a feel of the older temples.  Curved ceilings, and lots of gorgeous stained glass.  

There's a visitor tent so you can learn more about temples, and about this one in particular.  Then a big still shot of the temple you can get your picture taken in front of.  No worrying about other pesky toutists.

This is not that picture.

There are plenty of pics of the building all over the Internet.  How many are of us?  Not nearly so many.
