Spring Break

This year for Spring Break we decided to take a little getaway to Dallas.  Mason is at an age where he is much easier to travel with so it makes it so much easier to go do fun stuff.

We packed in a whole lot of stuff in just 2 days and were very busy but we had a great time.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

The very first In-n-Out burger for this burger lover

First time time ice-skating 

Tough for Micah but he tried hard 

It came pretty easy for Maddie!

We had a really fun time in Dallas.  We visited the Lego Discovery Center, Perot Museum, the Galleria for ice skating, several parks, the outlet mall, and had dinner with Uncle Jimmy.  Not a very restful way to spend spring beak but it was still a great break!

Bye bye to the First Tooth

So I recently noticed that even though he hadn't yet lost any teeth, Micah had a tooth coming in and it was WAY behind the baby tooth.  I was a little worried that it was so far away that it wasn't going to make the baby tooth come out on its own so I made him an appointment and took him in to get it checked out.  

Per his usual way of doing things, Dr. Owens suggested that we remove the four teeth on bottom to allow the new incoming teeth to have a place to go.  He assured me that Micah's tongue would push the new tooth right into place.  He offers a sedation medication for the younger kids and suggested we try that for Micah.  We made the appointment to have the teeth pulled and went on our way.

Well, just a few days later, one of  Micah's baby teeth started getting really wiggly.  And then it got REALLY wiggly.  I made the comment that all it would take was one good yank and the tooth would come right out.  So he proceeded to go into the bathroom and give it one good yank.  And as I predicted, the tooth came right out!  He was so excited and of course looks super cute with his little gapped smile.  

A couple of weeks later, he pulled the next tooth.  So now he is only going to have to have two teeth pulled at the dentist.  And coincidentally, his appointment to have the teeth pulled has already come and gone and we had to reschedule- we had a snow day.  So we will be getting those pulled later in March.

Big Boy Bed

We converted Mason's bed into a toddler bed.  He did awesome and loves being able to get in and out on his own!
