Tooth Eruption

Big day in the world of an infant...
Today when Shyler was giving one of her adorable grins to Amanda, she noticed what looked like a hole in her gums. After sticking a finger on Shyler's gum it turns out the hole was making way for a little tooth to pierce through that we could even feel. It's crazy to see this little hole on a babies gum and know that there are little teeth coming up. This along with a visit to the doctor for shots on Thursday explains a long and cranky weekend we had with Shyler.

Silly Clothes...
This is Shyler today. Amanda put her in this cute outfit that Patti Tucker gave her. Only thing about this outfit is that it is so cute and I didn't think it would fit her because it was a size 6-12 month outfit, so I put it away with 9 month clothes thinking it would be bigger. Well, turns out she could have been enjoying its cuteness a lot earlier because it fits like all of her other 6 month outfits. So for you soon to be first time moms, don't go by what the tags say, they don't always fit the same way as other clothes of that size. Also, if you have a tall skinny baby like Shyler, Carters is one of the best brands, all of the others seem to be made for very fat short babies.

Our Nephew...
Conner Aiden Hansen
Born Sept 4, 2008 6:08 pm
9 lb 1 oz 20 in
We are so excited to have a new addition to the family. For those that don't know, Conner is the son of Amanda's brother Matt and his wife Stephanie and they live in San Antonio, TX.


Growing Girl...
We wanted to see how big Shyler has gotten, so here she is at about 4 weeks and a little more than 6 months. It's crazy how fast they grow when they are this little. FYI, the green pad and the pink flowered pad are the same size.
At her visit Shyler came in at 15 lb 15 oz and was 27 inches, that keeps her in the same percentiles that she has been, 50 for weight and 90 for length.


A hiking we will go...
Even with our cranky baby, we were still able to go on a hike this past Sat. It wasn't super long, but it was still fun to get out and use our cool backpack. She really enjoyed looking around and seeing what was new in the world... for about 45 minutes, and then she was done. We hope to go again this weekend too!
