11 teeth

in Maui (Oct. 2008)

The wait has been over! AC had four teeth for the longest time and we were wondering why it was taking so long for the others to erupt. We actually made an appt. with a pediatric dentist and he suggested that AC should get his gums cut in order for the other teeth to come out. We thought that it was quite an aggressive approach and after consulting other dental professionals, we decided to wait for his teeth to come out naturally. One by one, his molars came out and he now has a total of 11 teeth, with five on the bottom and six on top.

We should also mention that AC was teething at the most inappropriate time: during our vacation in Maui. He ended up waking up at least a couple of times during the night and thus made us lose a lot of more sleep than usual. But overall, our trip was very memorable and eventful (of course, other than the teething incidence, we managed to do some fun stuff like hiking the Haleakala crater, hanging out at all the beautiful beaches and we even spent time with our friends M and P who happened to be there at the same as us). Vince was very sweet in planning this trip for my BIG 30th birthday!

AC has been very chatty lately and we still can't really figure what he's saying most of the time but it's quite entertaining attempting to see what he's trying to communicate. We realized that he really, really loves our mutts as he kept mentioning them during our Maui trip. AC enjoys bossing Rylee around and tells her NO when she's doing something bad (or good depending on his mood!).
