Big Changes

We have had a lot going on here at our house these last few weeks. Greg has been back to work at his new job, which he is so excited about, so I am learning to re-adjust without him here with us all day. It was so nice having him home these last few months. I know now Greg wouldn't trade what happened because after all it gave him the opportunity to build a stronger bond with his son.

I, on the other hand, am still going strong spending every minute with Truitt. Loving it too. I have had such a great couple of weeks, feels like I am really moving along now. I haven't had a bad day since I can't even remember when. It is so refreshing, I feel great.

Mr. Truitt has some big news himself. After all the pain and tears over the past few days, we finally see a little pearly white tooth peeking through!


I can't believe he is getting teeth now, he is growing up so fast. The poor little guy has been so miserable these last few days, even crying tonight inconsolably and I felt so helpless. If any of you moms have tips on what to do for pain relief or when to expect him to feel better once it breaks through I would love to hear your advice! We have tried Tylenol, Orajel and frozen teethers, which offer some comfort to him but not much. It is horrible, I have always known teething is rough, but man it is simply awful. He loved chewing on the teether, I think he enjoyed the cold on his sore gums...


Truitt has made a big step in his physical development too. Well a big step in my eyes at least. He will now support himself in a crawling position! He would never support himself with straight arms until about a week ago. He will even rock back and forth like he is trying to crawl. I know its a little soon to get excited, but this is huge for him! His arms are pretty limited so I am so happy he has gotten this far. His little legs know what they are doing, now its just a matter of getting those arms to work with them. Go Truitt!
