Cole came over tonight. Dave and Crystal had a concert to go to. Christina, Cole and I had a good time. It is interesting to watch Christina when another child is around.

We sang, played with toys, and had a snack. Christina and I taught Cole some signs. He catches on quickly.

Christina is sick today. She hasn't been feeling well for a few days.

One of the bottom molars poked through with an attitude. Christina had a flap of gum flopping over her tooth. The other molar on the bottom is so close. It has been swollen for awhile. The two on top are still taking there time.

I think the teething has put her in the path to getting a cold. She has a cough. It sounds very rough. It has progressively been getting worse. She has been clingy and whiny. I would imagine she has a headache too.

While Angela was out of the house getting her school work done, Christina and I wrapped a couple presents. She enjoyed playing with the paper.

It's Black Friday. Angela went shopping this morning and I am out for coffee this afternoon.

I am going through pictures to double check my organization. And, trying to make another slideshow for ALL the photos.

As I am going through the pictures of Christina it brings a tear to my eye. Really more like crying. She was so small. Looking back, I was a basket case. We all have come a long way. I am very lucky Christina is with us.

I included a photo to share. This was July 5, 2006. Christina is in her incubator at Children's Minneapolis.

Just a note to say...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I have a lot to be thankful for. You have come along way Christina. You too Angela. You also have come a long way.

Thanks you two for being you.

The dentist visit went well overall. Christina was not happy while they cleaned her teeth or when anyone was poking around for that matter. She was back to her happy and smiling self when everything was done.

The dentist asked if Christina had been cranky lately. Angela and I looked at each other, we both replied yes. The dentist said she is teething and her two year molars are very close to coming out. We asked also how long it takes for teeth to come in. Christina seems to drag each tooth popping as a long process. They assured us that these molars could take months. Argh.

After the dentist, Angela and Christina did some more shopping and brought me coffee at the office. Mmm, can't go wrong with good coffee.

We have a sleep consultation coming up in December for Christina. The real treat will be trying to get her up there for a sleep study. Heh heh.
