Odds and ends....

I just got back from weight watchers with the crew (my mom, Danyel and our newest addition, Kelly, who I used to work with back in the Principal days) and left with a smile on my face. I lost another 3 pounds, which I was elated with considering the mountain of Easter candy I've eaten over the past week. I'm just glad that the number on the scale is going in the right direction! Oh, and watch out... I just might get crazy and start exercising!

In Andrew news.... Over the past few days his sleep pattern has been horrible. He's been up 6 or 7 times a night ... sometimes needing to eat, but most of the time, just needing to be comforted. On top of that, his nose has been running, and he's been a total drool factory. Anyway, I was feeding him yesterday when he decided that it'd be a *great* idea to chomp down on me as hard as he could. Oh man, I'm tellin' ya..... I about hit the ceiling. Seriously, it brought tears to my eyes. My reaction shocked Little Man and he started to cry. Actually, WAILING would be more accurate. I felt horrible, and gave him a big hug. After that, I checked out his gums and guess what??? A tooth! His first one! It's barely there, but if you look VERY closely you can see a tiny white nub. Now -- here's the deal. Getting a tooth at 6 months is super dooper early in the Hanson household. Katherine got her first tooth the week before she turned 1 and Caleb was right around 11 months. However, the tooth explains a lot -- the runny nose, sleepless nights and wanting to be held. I'll take a picture of it as soon as you can actually see it, but for now, you'll just have to trust me that it actually exists!

Today was a gorgeous day. We spent the majority of it outside and enjoyed the sunshine. We went to the park with three other families in our neighborhood, and then resumed the play date in our backyard. When the little ones went down for their nap, Caleb had a friend over and they continued to play until the big kids got home from school. When that happened, the backyard was filled with kids running around. At one point there were 10 little ones running around! The kids had a great time!

Tomorrow is supposed to be another great day, so I'm thinking of taking the boys down to the zoo in the morning. Tomorrow night is Katherine's big music concert, so we'll be skipping gymnastics and heading over to school. If we can get a decent seat, I'll take pictures and post them tomorrow night!
