Teething baby = Cranky mommy!

Well he is almost 11 months old but Talan is finally teething! I feel so bad for him. He is SO cranky and just wants to be held all the time. So my house is a mess and I'm exhausted. Last night he woke up almost every hour. I felt like I was a mom to a newborn again... it was great birth control! LOL
Andy and I were so exhausted for the constant waking up to screaming fits that we both slept through Andy's alarm at 6:30 so Andy missed class. And we slept in till 9:30!!! I feel like such a horrible mother because Talan was awake and just hanging out in his crib when we woke up. He usually is up before 8 so who knows how long he was in there!
I am learning that one of the biggest lessons you get as a mother is compassion. I think I've always been a kind person that cares for others, but there is nothing like watching your child struggle or be in pain!!!
On a lighter note we spent the day today at the park and the Aviary. Talan got his first real swing ride! He loved it!!!

Then at the Aviary for some reason all he wanted to do was crawl, but only on the sidewalk. We tried to let him crawl around in the grass and he threw a fit. He is so spoiled!!!

I love those pictures! he looks so happy :). Thanks for the info on the housing stuff. We may already have a real estate gal, but if it doesn't work out, you're the first person I'm calling!
Yes, Dan isn't working at the New Yorker anymore. He's still a reserve there, if they need him, though. He's working for a software company now. I don't have a job yet, but soon...

First let me say YAY YOU BLOGGED! He is the cutest little bugger ever!! I just wanna kiss his little cheeks. As far as teething goes you need to go to walmart and purchase HYLAND'S TEETHING TABLETS they work super fast and the fussiness is relieved instantly. I would make him AND you so much happier!! KEEP BLOGGING!
