2nd tooth!

Eli's second tooth cut through today! He was very distraught, hopefully he will feel better tomorrow. But of course he's still the best baby ever even if he's in pain.

On Wednesday, Eli’s babysitter Cheryl called me at work to tell me that she was breaking out in spots. Her daughter Tessa, whose daughter she also watches, said that they were chickenpox. AHH Chickenpox! It took all I had, but I didn’t leave work to go pick him up. Apparently chickenpox can lay dormant for 2 weeks before the spots appear, so Eli has definitely already been exposed to it! So for now it’s just a waiting game. I suppose it wouldn’t be the most awful thing in the world for him to get it this young, at least he can’t scratch! I just don’t want to see my poor little monster uncomfortable!

A week ago, I ran my first (hopefully of many) 5K on Saturday with Andrea, Dara, and Melissa. I ran it in 30 minutes. It felt really good to finish, even if I didn’t get a great time. I haven’t run in a very long time!! I had so much fun.

Busy busy busy!

We have been super busy lately, hardly a spare moment to update this blog! But I did want to keep everyone updated on Eli!!

He got his FIRST TOOTH today!! I just knew it was coming, I could see it at the surface, then while he was at the babysitters today, POOF it came out!! I'm very excited. Although tonight was a tough night, I think there's another tooth soon to follow.

In the past week he's also done really good with holding his own bottle. This may not sound super exciting, but it is to me!! He also is doing pretty good with his baby food; he's been practicing eating without pushing it all out of his mouth!!

Eli is sleeping through the night like a champ!! We put him in his crib at about 8:30, and he lays there until he falls asleep! Then he sleeps until 7:00 or so!!
