A New Tooth and a Fun Party

I found a new tooth in Benjamin's mouth this morning! It's the top left (your left, his right). I've been watching it coming in for about a week now. I saw it yesterday but didn't feel anything and this morning I checked (I've been checking about twice a day for the past week) and there was the little razor sharp edges poking through! When he got his bottom teeth, the second came in within a day of the first, so I'm expecting the fourth tooth to be here soon too. Actually, I think I can see the little whiteness among the red swollen gum...

Benjmain had a tough night last night. We were out late at Cassidee's birthday party (more about that in a minute) and then about midnight Benjamin woke up crying cause he couldn't breathe well. He's had a little stuffy nose for a few days and I didn't think too much of it until last night. He ended up sleeping on the floor in our room for awhile and then ended up in the middle of our bed propped up on the Boppy pillow to help keep the congestion out of his nose. Poor baby must have been miserable with being stuffy and having that tooth come in all in the same night. He did sleep in this morning untl 8:30 or so and then took a nice warm bath. He seems much more like himself this morning.

Ok, on to the party... It was a lot of fun! The party was patterned after the game Clue... We had all the favorites, Miss Scarlett (Cassidee), Colonel Mustard (Tyler), Miss White, Professor Plum, etc. And then we had a few extra characters as well, including Dr. Gold (Jonathan), Widow Black (Tabitha), and Father Cobalt (who Benjamin "played" cause the guest ended up not being able to come last minute). There were 13 guests, 13 rooms (library, ballroom, lounge, etc) and 13 weapons (poison, wrench, candlestick...)

Jonathan and I had fun getting our costumes ready. Jonathan was Dr. Gold, an arrogant and "fake" friendly doctor. I played Widow Black, a woman who has been married countless times to rich men who have all had tragic deaths.

After introductions and a self guided "tour" of the mansion we were served the first course of our dinner and made our first accusations. Each time we were served a course (four in all) we were given more clues or instructions of what to do or who to accuse of doing what. In the end, we made our final accusations-- and then the murderer was revealed to be Miss Scarlet in the Conservatory with the Candlestick.

Here's a picture of us with Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlett:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Benjamin was introduced to peppers yesterday and actually enjoyed them! It's actually a mini sweet pepper that is kinda like a bell pepper, but smaller and sweeter. They are actually really good when you eat them raw. Here is a video we took of him eating a mini sweet pepper.

Well, sorry about the many posts I've made lately. It just seems that Benjamin is doing the cutest things every day and I'm a proud mom and have to share everything. Plus Grammy and Pepere in California are saying they need more pictures... so here you go!
