Thanks..

for the birthday wishes! Soren had a wonderful weekend. Sue, isn't that crazy? Looking back, I really think her birth was the best, but most intense of the 3. She's still my most intense child, too. Came into the world slapdash and howling and is still jumping into life full speed ahead every day :). Good for her, I say!

As for Tom, he sees a specialist today. Yes, Annalise, we've definitely been through the uber-testing thing! I do know Tom though, and he never sees the doctor unless he's truly in pain or very very ill. I had to force him to go a couple of months ago when he was waking twice nightly with bad asthma and hitting the inhaler during the day too. I hope that it just ends up being something goofy and simple, but I just don't know. I am really worried.

And thanks for the reassuring thoughts about Jude's sleep habits! I'll just enjoy the sleep while it lasts! Soren stopped napping at 18 months and always fought sleep from about 2 weeks on ;). She sleeps OK now though, and loves to cuddle up at night and snooze away all cuddled up next to us!

Emma still doesn't sleep enough IMO. But she is a night owl and likes to stay up reading. She had a hard time wth Soren's bday this weekend and was emotionally exhausted by last night though. She was asleep by 10, which is unusual for her. She also lost another tooth on top and has one missing on the bottom, so she looks like a jack-o-lantern ;). She has another very loose one on the bottom and the adult tooth is coming in behind it. She's now lost 6 teeth total I think and has at least 2 loose ones. Funny girl.

I do think that Jude is teething. He's drooly and wants to chew on my hand constantly. I need to go find one of those squishy teethers that you can put in the fridge to get cold. He's laying here on my lap wrapped in a blanket and thinking he's nursing in his sleep! I love when they do that sucking thing while they're dreaming. so cute!
