Big Boy Bed

Judah is going to be a big brother! We are having another boy!

So, since the baby will be taking over Judah's crib....and Judah fell out of that crib trying to escape..we moved him to a new bed!

We got a bedroom set off of craigslist that we are sanding down, and painting. So far all that is done is the bed. So that is all that is in his new room right now =)

His first night was a success. He only fell out twice. Although, it did take him a while to fall asleep. The next night was much easier! He didn't fall out at all =) Now, to get him potty trained....

You are growing up so fast big boy! We love you!

My New Teeth!

Friday, Judah had an appointment to get his 2 top teeth cleaned and filled.

He did really well! This was not our first rodeo. The nurses were shocked to hear this is his 7th time under anesthesia. Yep. 7

(Waving)

(Talking on the phone to Bob the tomato)

I went back with him this time until he fell asleep. So glad I have never done that before. It was a ton more scary then I ever thought it would be. But, he was only under about 45 minutes and woke up with 2 new white teeth!

(watching T.V here...lol)

Here they are! My new teeth =)

2 Years Old!

You're a Big Boy!!

There is so much going on with you lately it's hard to think of what to say!

You are talking like crazy...I can't keep up with everything you say these days.

You pass kisses around frequently.

You are officially gluten free. Yay...

You have 12 teeth with another one coming in.

Still in love with music! Mom and Dad got you a guitar for your birthday. You love to stand on things and "perform".

You also got a car for your birthday from your adopted family...yep it drives a big 2 miles per hour! (Spoiled much?)

You really try and sing along with the radio. It's usually an echo type thing...but sometimes you get the timing perfect!

You are a typical 2 year old with attitudes and the whole package.

You are growing and learning so much. We are very proud of you!!

My First Real Dentist Appointment

Wow, this feels so weird....It's been too long since I have posted anything!

Judah went to the dentist today. He was...well we won't talk about whether he was good or not...

The dentist we found seems to be exactly what I prayed for. They have several cleft patients and the doctor seems to know a good bit about the whole process. They are also very kid friendly and Momma friendly too.

Judah does seem to be missing 2 baby teeth ( I really wish I could remember the names to all the teeth) and his 2 top teeth are in pretty bad shape. He wants to work on them: take off any decay and fill in any holes. He would need to do this in the hospital with Judah fully under anesthesia because of his age...and lack of cooperation. Judah also has a tooth growing towards his premaxilla..looks kind of scary in the x-ray picture but the doctor says there is nothing we can do. It will either find it's way through or it will be removed during the bone graft. Please help me pray. God is not finished with Judah and I am expecting more of the miraculous.

Judah did get to brush the teeth of a dragon...and came home with a balloon! He also left a few people amazed that he ever had a bilateral cleft lip. =) Including Mr. Dentist. He also looked pretty handsome in his "Superman" shirt. <3

**Just an FYI: Judah's 2 front teeth came in with decay (which is normal for cleft kids) it was not due to lack of brushing or calcium.
