Happy One Month!

Visit to Toledo & Misc Pics

Last week, we went to Toledo to visit great grandma & grandpa Kranz, who can't make it to see us in Columbus. We also have taken a couple of new pics over the last week or so.

Here is Jameson, with his common, "Are you going to feed me?" face



Here is Jameson, who is modeling his Uncle Ben (Miller)'s sleeper from 1987. I saved it all these years.



Buddies!

We plan to take another car trip soon, but this time to Cincinnati to celebrate Corbin's birthday. It's so exhausting- there is so much that goes into an outing. You have to reserve an extra hour to get ready. By the time you think you have everything all situated, the kids have to eat again & be changed!

Pro Photos and a Tooth!

Soooo, Cameron was born with a tooth. The pediatrician who assessed him in the hospital thought that it was a mucocele on his gumline. When I took him in to the office 4 days later, our pediatrician looked at his mouth briefly and asked, "Is that a tooth?" and I said, "No, the pediatrician in the hospital said it was a mucocele." So, she didn't do any further investigating.

We were in Meijer the other day, checking out, and Cameron got hungry & started to cry. I thought I saw a little white spot on his bottom left gum.

When we got home, I peeked in his little mouth and felt its little sharp edges.



The next afternoon, Jameson had a weight recheck appointment. While I was there, I asked the ped if she would look at Cameron's tooth. She confirmed it was a tooth, and was a little concerned because when they come in so early, they don't have mature root systems, so they are wiggly and can become a choking hazard.

She called around and found a pediatric dentist with an opening right away. She felt it could not be put off & needed to be assessed right away.

The pediatric dentist was fantastic. She had a few minutes before I came in to research some statistics for me. Cameron was the youngest patient they had ever had in the office. She said that 90% of the time, these are the primary teeth. The other 10% of the time, they are extra calcium deposits that are like "extra" teeth. They don't always need removed. She recommended keeping Cameron's tooth intact unless it started to become very loose or interfered with him gaining weight appropriately. She also said that only 1-2 babies in 6000 are born with teeth. A girl on facebook commented, "Twins and a baby born with a tooth- go get a lotto ticket!"

In other news, I had mentioned that my friend Lindsay of Linz Photography had taken our family's photos when I was 6 days postpartum. Here are the results:

First Bath

We gave them their first bath when the twins were 13 days old, on Halloween!

They did pretty well, I think!
