Weekend of Nothing

Our weekend was spent doing a lot of nothing and loving every moment. Charlotte was feeling much better and seems to be fine. Her molars are coming in so her gums and mouth hurts....causing excessive drooling. At times she looks like a St. Bernard, long lines of saliva pouring out of the corners of her mouth. Dad thinks it is cute.

Applying Baby Oral Gel to her gums has become some what challenging. Her front teeth are very sharp and her mouth suddenly has super human strength, clamping down on your finger with what feels like 100lbs of pressure. Usually dad tortures her until she starts crying and wailing. When that mouth is wide open screaming, in goes the finger covered in Oral Gel, swabbing the numbing lotion all over her swollen gums. She hates it but it works wonders.

Sunday Charlotte got to play over at Paul and Jena's house while dad enjoyed watching football with the guys. We played zone coverage. Mom covering the kitchen. Dad covering the living room. It was nice because we both only had to watch her half of the time. She would run into one room....play.....then run back to the other room. We highly recommend zone coverage over man-to-baby coverage.



Today we got an ice storm but still managed to have power. Dad was secretly hoping the power would go out so he could fire up the generator for the first time. It didn't happen. All of the streets leading into town had no power....but the town center itself (where we live) has all of its lights. Figures he buys a generator because the power kept going out and the power is now suddenly super reliable.
