Another milestone

Last night, Allison passed yet another milestone. So far she has rolled over from her stomach to her back, started cooing and awing, graduated to size 2 diapers and size 3-6 months in clothes. Last night, she did not need the net in her baby bathtub. Her tub converts into 3 different stages. Stage 1 is a net-like sling that barely sits in the water. Stage 2 is a seat that is skid-proof and is close to the wall of the tub so that babies can lounge in the water while moms and dads wash them. Stage 3 is for babies who are good at sitting up by themselves but are not yet ready for the regular tub. Each milestone has been very emotional for me. I am not quiet sure why. Dave and I have discussed having more kids, and we are both in agreement that we want more, just not for a while. I think it is because with Emily, I was so anxious for her to move on to the next stage that I did not take the time to enjoy each stage she was in. I told myself that with Allison, I was going to enjoy each stage as much as I could. I guess I have been enjoying them more than I thought. Getting the stage 2 diapers was the hardest. It meant that Allison was no longer a newborn :(
Emily has been passing a couple of milestones as well. She has completed her first puzzle all by herself. She is learning colors really well. She completed her first coloring book. We made a special trip to Wallmart yesterday to buy her a new coloring book. It was very exciting. Emily is also getting about 4 new teeth right now. It is a Guelich trait to get teeth very slowly, but all of a sudden she is getting the rest in at the same time. We figured it out because last night when Dave was tucking Emily into bed, she said she had a boo boo in her mouth. Dave and I thought she might have been saying that because I have been having problems with my mouth. For some reason at night I have been clenching my jaw shut. When I wake up in the morning, my mouth hurts really bad and I feel really tense. We thought maybe Emily was pretending to have a boo boo like me. But this morning I checked her mouth to make sure and she had about 4 teeth popping up. Poor kid! That has got to hurt.
