It's all about the teeth

Well, today was a pretty dramatic day for teeth in the Smith family. I found out I got my first cavitity today. I almost made it to 33 without a cavity. I was so sad. Then I went to pickup Zoe and discovered her first tooth has broken through! You can't really see too much of it yet, but maybe by her birthday this weekend we will get some good pics to post

Look at me standing and playing.

I wore myself out!
Reading already.

Look at how I sleep now. On my tummy with my legs tucked underneath me.
Look Grammy. I climed all the way up the stairs on my first try. I am off and running.
Surrounded by my toys and my favorite kitched that my Uncle Sookie got me.

God's Insulation

It snowed 5 inches here yesterday. The snow on our roof provides a thin layer of insulation and keeps it nice and cosy inside our big old house. The traffic here sucks when it snows and most roads become grid locked. I left early from work, but had a mean lady rear ended me on the way home. It was Zoe's first car wreck. It was just a light tap and Zoe and I are fine.

Another ear infection

Yes, our Zoe has ear infections in both ears. Tubes are scheduled, but we just can't get them in fast enough. We were at first a little nervous, but can't wait so we can get her well and off antibiotics. Poor Zoe.

ENT Visit

Zoë’s ENT visit went well. Yes, she is getting tubes right before our birthdays on Feb. 15 at Cincinnati Children’s. Zoë was a good baby. She fussed a little when they looked in her ears, but didn't cry. We were there for 2 hours...to see the Dr., do a hearing test and then consultation for surgery. The hearing test was amazing. They would have a sound come from a speaker and then she would look at the speaker when it made a sound. When she looked at the speaker they would light up a Sponge Bob, a Mickey Mouse or a different toy for her reward. I was so impressed…I just don’t give her enough credit.

The Colts Win!

Yes, are so excited the Colts won last night. It will be a very exciting Superbowl for us Hoosiers. How many people think we will win?

Snow Day

Nice close up mommy.

Pigtails!
Hi Grammy and Grampy...I love you this much. OH, the reason that we have red hands and face if from Jello. It's not a rash.
Look at me playing ball.

Uncle Sonny's Update

Uncle Sonny turned 74 this Wednesday! He wrote the below and I thought it would be fun to share:

On the twentieth of December, I was looking out the window and I could see bare ground with patches of snow in the field across the road. The clouds were low and I couldn’t see the top of the mountain when I realized there were only four more days until Christmas. I hadn’t mailed any cards, done any shopping or written a news letter. I just couldn’t get into the Christmas spirit. I realized that Santa couldn’t get down the modern chimneys, they’re too small, and what about those electrically heated homes. Thermodynamically speaking, if Santa traveled fast enough to visit all the Christian children in the world he and his reindeer would burn up like an asteroid entering our atmosphere. Eight reindeer couldn’t pull a sled large enough to carry all the gifts. In fact, I don’t think there are enough reindeer in the world to pull a sled that big. Please don’t tell the children Santa can’t do all the things that he is suppose to do. Remember, ignorance is bliss.
