On Thursday Tavis got his helmet fitted and wore it for the first time. He is such a happy baby he didn't even care whether it was on or not but I sure did. After we left the doctors I went to walmart for some household items and as I strolled tavis around everyone starred and gawked and it was awful. I rolled myself into a corner and cried for a while and when I was brave enough came out and finished my shopping. I know everyone was just curious but it sure felt horrbile to be on the other end of the stares. Tavis' top left tooth is just about to come through and the right one is now swollen so he's actually not a very happy camper. So, between the teething and the helmet he has had a big week. He sleep pretty well with the helmet on but not at night. He sure lets us know when he wants it off and when we take it of he is drenched. Babies are so amazing. . . all that they have to go through and they handle it like champs most of the time. It's incredible to see how well he adapts to all the changes and growing he does. We love him! If you can't figure out what's on Tavis' face it's his binki. . he spits it out and that's where it lands. despite everything you can see how truly happy he is! I love it!
As for me, well I was called to be the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's and so I am over the Beehives which is kind of weird because I feel like I was just a Beehive yesterday. I am really excited and love my little girls!! Nathan is still going strong with no calling and I think he actually really likes it because he gets Tavis during church and therefore has plenty of excuses to leave early, walk the halls, sit on the couch instead of in class, . . . don't worry I'm trying to get him into shape. Oh, By the way if you didn't know they split our ward so they had to reorganize our new ward.
