TOOTH!

Glory be, Mette finally cut the first tooth that has been giving her fits for so long now. I noticed it yesterday while Otto was taking a nap. SO exciting. I just went back and looked at the post about Otto getting his first tooth and it came when he was EXACTLY the same age. She just cut her lower left tooth and that was what he cut first as well. Otto has not had the easiest time getting teeth to say the least. I am very much hoping that it goes better for her.

She also had her 6 month check up so it was a big day for her. She weighed in at a whopping 16 pounds 12 ounces. She is 27 inches long. This puts her in the 75% for weight and 90% for height, also the exact same as Otto at this age. It's kind of amazing. Poor little girl, the combo of getting her first tooth and having shots made for a sad little baby. She ran a slight fever last night but did actually sleep fairly well. I was sure she wasn't going to sleep at all so I was quite pleased. Especially since I stayed up until midnight visiting with the moms from playgroup who came over to have a little going away party for Rachel who tomorrow is heading off to Uruguay :(. I am still in denial that she and family won't be around for almost 4 months!

We have been ticking milestones off left and right around here. Mette is officially up and rocking on all fours. She is trying to go forward but often ends up rolling over in the process. It won't be long though until she is off.
Otto is potty trained. I have been hesitant to say that out loud or write it in black and white, but there you have it. He still has a bit of trouble getting his underwear down on his own so you have to help with that (I don't care if that takes forever to master, it is super easy!) and he still wears a diaper for night and naptime but other than that he has been accident free. He even wakes up dry and want to use the potty as soon as he gets up!! It is amazing. He has totally led the whole process which is how it should happen, but I am still in shock. He looks so cute running around in his little underwear. It's a whole new era.
