Happy Friday everyone! I hope your week has been much better than mine. It has not been a great week in The Miracle Momma’s house. Teething has taken a whole new level. Have you seen those lists with “Things No One Told You About Babies?” Someone needs to add upper teething to that list.When Leo’s bottom teeth came in he did not have nearly as much trouble as he has with these stubborn top teeth. Leo has been headbutting, scratching, and biting. I’m sure he could compete with a Saint Bernard in a drooling contest. How does a baby make that much drool? The last three nights Leo’s sleep schedule was all sorts of backwards. He is waking up at 2:00AM and staying up until 6:00AM. We had a similar sleep regression right before Leo’s bottom teeth came in. I am praying this is the case with him because this momma is worn out.
While Leo was in a good mood yesterday I took the opportunity to create a memory. When I created the 25 Easy DIY Halloween Crafts list I promised myself I would make a couple of the crafts I found. I decided I wanted to try the Family Ghosts craft. It is so easy & cheap to make. I found the majority of my items needed in a discount store. Leo’s foot came out as a really cute ghost. This picture is something I’m going to cherish forever. After all it is Leo’s first Halloween.
We’ll be making more ghosts this weekend when The Pickle comes over. The plan is for The Pickle to have his own ghost like the one above, and then a ghost with both of the boys together. I’m hoping The Pickle will enjoy this craft. It is so hard to get him to get outside his comfort zone. Crafts are a bit out of his comfort zone. . In addition to our family ghosts I plan on taking both of the boys to a local pumpkin patch if the weather is nice enough on Sunday. We’re supposed to have our first frost Saturday night. If it’s too cool I’m going to wait on going. Regardless we should have a wonderful fun filled weekend. I will be taking pictures of everything we do as a family.
Leo is starting to wake up again. It’s a little after 1:00AM. I have a feeling our night is going to be the same as the last three.

The big teeth are fun either! My daughter has been a piece of cake with teething well until recently.

I have not tried them yet (but will with #3) but have you tried the baltic amber teething necklaces/bracelets? They are supposed to help with teething pain. Hope he feels better soon! Darn toofers!

Super cute!
Our 2 year old is getting her second molars. By far the worst! I can’t wait for those suckers to pop through! Hang in there, momma!

The Twins are teething right now and it’s HORRIBLE! Charlie finally cut a tooth after one VERY LONG night! Glad you found time to make the cute memory book. I still need to figure out what they are going to be for Halloween this year.
