Molars

Addison has been super crabbified these past few weeks and it is really starting to take a toll on Mommy and Daddy. Her first 8 teeth came in without a hitch, just lots of drool and finger chewing...these molars on the other hand are giving us a run for our money and Addison is miserable. She has molar bulges on top and bottom, one side of her gum is even black and blue from the sheer pressure of these monsters! I noticed this morning that the first little bit of her bottom right molar has made its entrance but we still have 3 more to go and can't wait for it to be over! She is having a hard time sleeping, screams a lot of the day and in general is quite the crab apple, but I dont blame her!
In happier news, I took Addison on Wednesday for her 12 month checkup (can you believe it!) and the doctor was thrilled with everything she is doing and so happy that Addison is now in the 25th% for weight!!! A huge jump from her 9 month appointment when she was just barely in the 5th%. Her stats are:
19 pounds 13 oz
29.5" tall
The appointment went really well but I wasn't too thrilled when she told me that we need to start weening Addison off of the bottle and by 15 months it should be no more...uh oh! This should be interesting...

  1. Good for Addison! Bubba was in the 5th percentile at his 9 month check up too. Hopefully he does as well as she did.

    You'll be kind of surprised at how easy it is to wean off the bottle. As long as you're doing it this early anyway. We stopped at 10 1/2 months without even flinching. If she's using a sippy cup already, I bet it goes well.
