An early bloomer

Well, apparently Benjamin is going to be a man ahead of the game. At 3 months old, he is teething...and when I say teething, I mean his teeth are actually cutting through already. The funny thing is, it's his top two front teeth that are coming in. Usually babies start with the bottoms but hey, Benjamin has never been a typical baby! He's been very irritable lately, and I've been giving him Tylenol. I talked to the nurse today and she said we could give him just a tiny bit of orajel, but only after he eats, because it can cause the babies to not be able to use their gag reflex and they could choke. So, we are going to use that sparingly. I just can't believe he's got teeth already. I will try to take some pictures and post them.

Darin is recovering from his illness, thank goodness. He missed 2 1/2 days of work and that can hurt, but he's getting back to normal, thanks to good old antibiotics. Now Abi is starting to get the stuffy nose and such...bummer. Anyways, that's the latest!

    Glad Darrin is feeling better.. I was thinking about him today because of all the RV factories back at Elkhart being shut down. Does that affect him at all?
