CAMERON
My big news is I had my first dentist appointment Monday. Mom prepared me by having me practice my smile and saying "ahh". I have been brushing my teeth for almost a year now so I wasn't too worried about having cavities or anything, but I wasn't sure what to expect with the exam. Thanks to the Buries recommendation, we visited Dr. Kirsten Davies. I was fascinated with the fish in the waiting room which was good for mom as it gave her time to fill out all the paperwork and soothe Nathan who woke up for a little bit. As for the exam itself, I sat on mom's lap and then leaned back and laid in the lap of Dr. Kirsten. I never cried or whined and was very cooperative. I kept my mouth open the whole time while she counted my teeth (I have both my upper 1-year molars, one of my bottom 1-year molars is visible through the gum line though hasn't broke through yet, and 4 top teeth and 3 bottom teeth). Then she scraped what little plaque I had (no tartar, gingivitis or cavities), cleaned my teeth with the brush that makes noise and applied flouride. Mom picked a cherry flavor for me which I liked. The worst part of it all was I wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 30 minutes after to allow the flouride to set. Dr. Kirsten said I was very well behaved and she had never had a kid as young as me not cry at some point. Mom was very proud of me and I got to pick out two toys so I selected a lion finger puppet and a mini frisbee. I also got lots of stickers, a tattoo, and a new toothbrush. Thank you Aunt Kali for helping me pick out my first toothbrush and toothpaste to get me started on healthy dental care early! Though mom couldn't get a picture of my actual dentist visit, she did take one of me showing off my clean teeth.
Other than my dentist visit, not too much else is new. I got to go swimming in our backyard Sunday. Unfortunately it was too humid yesterday for mom to let me outside Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday Nathan and I got to go to mom and dad's softball team so that was fun. Still talking up a storm. My favorite new word is ant. I love pointing them out and saying the word.
As you can tell, I love the great outdoors! This is the tree daddy planted recently and me doing my own planting.
I also have big news - for two nights this week, I slept through the night. Granted Sunday night I didn't go to bed until 10:30pm as I slept most of the day in anticipation of the Lost finale, but I at least slept until 5:30am. Then Monday night I went to bed around 8:45pm and slept until 5:15am. Mommy and daddy seem happy with my current sleep patterns even though I reverted back to my usual one waking around 3am and another around 5:30am before getting up around 7:30am.
I am also smiling a little more and still doing well with tummy time. One of my favorite things is to look out our front window from the sofa. I also love being outside. In fact, when I get a bit fussy at night, mommy or daddy take me outside and I immediately calm down. It's a good thing I like the great outdoors as my big brother is a huge fan and constantly asks to go outside.
Love,
Cameron & Nathan
