Teeth!!

That's right....not tooth but teeth! On our most recent vacation BJ sprouted his first tooth. And I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't stick my finger in his mouth. He was sleeping excellent (8pm-5am straight) and was the happiest baby. The second tooth came 6 days later and it came like a lion. Sleepless nights, super-cranky during the day...I should've known! But he's all better now. Although I don't have a picture yet of BJ's new teeth here is a picture taken on the day we discovered his first tooth.

Another vacation...

Apparently this summer has been one vacation after another.

BJ took his first plane ride 2 weeks ago! We were SO nervous bringing him on the flight. The only thing that calmed me was the fact that the flight was only 1 hour long. Well...I had no reason to worry! BJ hungrily attacked his bottle during take-off...and promptly fell asleep while we were still climbing. He slept the ENTIRE way and only woke up as we were descending into Hartford, CT. And he woke up all smiles:) The other passengers just fawned over BJ once he was awake.

Our trip up to New England was to visit Brian's family. We jam packed our week with different activities:

BJ's first swim in a real pool

a visit to the butterfly conservatory (note the butterfly on Brian's knee)

exploring Yankee Candle in Deerfield, MA (pirate ships, donkeys, and royalty...who could ask for more?!)

BJ's first trip to the zoo

And bowling (whew...that's a lot of new experiences!)

Just a few more weekends of fun to go and the summer is over :(
