happy labor day! - Tyler's first dentist appt, and playing with cousins!

Happy Labor day everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your break! This past week was Tyler's first ever dentist appointment. It's recommended that kids go by the time they're 1, so I've been meaning to take Tyler for a bit. We found this cute pediatric dentistry in Irvine - brand new offices and decorated super cute. Didn't help Tyler though. When we first got into the room, Tyler was really excitedly looking around, and checking out Dora the Explorer that was playing on a TV overhead. Then the dentist came...oh man did Tyler hate getting his teeth checked! He cried and cried, and watched TV in between tears. Good news - no cavities! Bad news, Tyler may have a broken tooth! WHAT!? Sigh. We'll see how it turns out, Will and I swear the tooth came out that way, and since it's not completely erupted yet, maybe there's still hope. We'll see. Here's Tyler very upset.Tyler starts the toddler room Tuesday! Will and I are excited but kind of sad at the same time - no more infant room with all the TLC and Tyler getting to do whatever they want to do. Tyler is totally ready for it, but I'm not! D

We had lunch with Will's family this weekend. Tyler was super comfortable with Will's parents, but was very weary of Will's aunt and grandmother. I guess it takes a little time for him to warm up and remember them. This picture was funny though, with him sitting at the head of the table!
Whoohoo! Family reunion this week! We had lunch with my sister Grace and her family (DH Ken, and kids Annie/Adam/Ryan), as well as my dad and grandmother. Tyler once again doesn't really know how to share, but it was fun seeing all the kids playing together!Here's a picture of Tyler and Grace. Tyler took a liking to both her and Ken - even whining when he wanted them to hold him! And he's only seem them 2 different times since he's been born! Maybe he just warms up to some people faster?... Here's Tyler and Ryan playing. They're 2 months apart (Tyler is younger), but Ryan seems to be much taller. Tyler is going to have to catch up! Here's a video of the kids playing with Tyler's car: Have a good week!

Wow, my first dental appointment was at 2. Still not a fan of the dentist. . . I hope that the tooth is not actually broken.

It's always so sad to see little Tyler crying his head off while the dentist is looking around in his mouth.

Just to be clear, the dentist wasn't doing anything other than looking at his teeth. No poking or prodding really happened.
