Primary Teeth Chart

Here is what I've come up with. I'm not sure if this is how the dentists label baby (primary) teeth or not, but I think it's close. I know they use numbers for the permanent teeth and those charts are easy to find. I think they use letters for the primary teeth and I hope this is right. (Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I think.)

Also, here is a link to the actual ADA Primary Teeth Eruption Chart. This tells roughly when the primary teeth should come in and fall out. The chart also tells what teeth are what.

Here is Julia using her chompers on some tasty watermelon.

So, her teeth so far have come in, in the following order: P, O, D and G, E, F, Q, S, N, B, and I is trying to make it all of the way out now. (I'm pretty sure S came out before N, which I think is kind of odd.) The molars have actually affected Julia with their eruption. For most of the other teeth, she drooled a bit, so we knew she was teething, but not much bothered her.

Kraft Comfort

And I came across this yesterday. Seeing as I really am a sucker for the blue box myself. (I'm a "weird" adult who prefers the blue box to any other kind of mac and cheese.) Cut and paste I did...

We all recognize that blue box full of Kraft macaroni and cheese, right? You know the one. Most kids in America have probably seen their mom or dad reach for that box when they needed a quick meal. But we know that not all kids are so lucky. Kraft has joined Feeding America with the goal of donating 1,000,000 boxes of mac and cheese. You can help by going here. Each “click” donates another 10 boxes, and you can visit the site every day. Way to go, Kraft!

{Please feel free to cut and paste to your heart’s content and pass along the information. The program runs through 7/31/09. Let’s share the comfort!}

She's Walking...

So, at 12 months, she did not walk. She took a step or two, here or there, but no walking. By 13 months, I think she prefers to walk rather than crawl. Look at how well she does...

More updates and stuff when I get time. I hope to actually go through pictures one day soon too so I can upload some.

(Note: Both the crawling video from yesterday and the walking video today are from this past Saturday.)

Crawling to Soon Stop

This is how fast she crawls, when she does.

She has ten teeth now and I think another one is coming soon. I hope to have a little diagram to explain them all, since I can't get a picture of them all anymore.

She has changed her sleeping pattern a bit for a couple weeks now. It used to be 9-9:30 pm bedtime. Wake up enough to nurse at 6 am (before I got ready for work, usually). Then wake up around 9 am, I think. Usually a morning nap close to 11am to 1 pm and an afternoon nap around 3:30 for half an hour to an hour (sometimes later for this). Getting ready for bed would start 8-8:30 usually. Now she is asleep by 8-8:30. She wakes up earlier in the morning, by 8, I think. She still takes a morning nap most days, just usually around 10-10:30, but has been boycotting the afternoon nap. Then she is bit cranky in the evenings. Especially if dinner is not ready by 6 pm (which we usually always tried to do by 6:30 anyway).

Her Stroller

Ok, so the attempts at adding another video for you failed a lot, so maybe this video will work better.

For the faithful few...

Post with actual words and real information to come later. Quick, quick update: she has nine teeth now and can walk (just not really her choice of transportation most of the time quite yet - and not just with her stoller).

Update for Grandpa...

Since Paul has repeatedly requested an update... here's a cute picture to tide him over.

She went to the doctor's yesterday and got 3 shots. She weighs 17 pounds something and is like 25 inches. I'll double check the exact stuff when I get home.

Correction 7/13: She was 17 pounds 12 ounces and 29-1/2 inches tall. She is in the 5oth percentile for height and head circumference. She is a bit lower (but still in the normal range) for weight, and the doctor said she is just fine.

We're expecting again, too.
