Another doctors visit

In the past two months, between Levi and Linc we have had 11 doctors appointments! After Linc's sixth month check up I was elated that his doctor said he didn't need to see him until he was 9 months because up to then we had been going pretty much every two to three weeks for colic checks. But unfortunately Lincoln seems to love going to the doctors because we haven't missed a month since he was born! We went in this morning to have a look at his ear again because although he started medicine last Wednesday he didn't seem to be getting any better. Today, Dr. Lanza said his ears are perfect but he could see the very early beginnings of TWO bottom teeth!!! I can't see them but he shined a little light on his gums and said that within 10 to 15 days he should have something. I am relieved to know that it isn't his ears anymore ;0) But now the teething begins. I was hoping that Linc would be one of those kids who teethes without symptoms but our doctor and some of my research had told me that children who go through a lot of pain early on, like colic etc., have very low pain tolerances and that teething is really hard on them... UGGH! So Linc has been downing the herbal teething tablets and they seem to help but he is not happy... at all!

On another note he isn't crawling yet. I'll try to get some video of him cruising in circles which he does very efficiently. He just can't seem to get those knees underneath himself but oh how he wants to! He still hates tummy time so it is minimal unless we can distract him enough to get him to hang for a bit. He'll be moving soon enough. His 8 month birthday is Saturday!! Oh man, how time flies!

Levi just got back from a nice weekend camping trip with his dad. He spent three days at Wickiup fishing, tanning, and eating "Chef Boy-r-Bill" dinners. He caught a monster bass that weighed in at five pounds!! It sounded like a wonderful male bonding weekend! Here are a few pics that Bill took of their Father's day retreat:
