August 9 - August 11

Hi Baby Lijah!
Well, you are back in your routine and back at Mary's. She asked us what the heck happened to you during that week - she got back a baby who she didn't recognize. She didn't really appreciate the high pitch scream you picked up again :) Your daddy said she missed you a lot - she reached out and grabbed you and smooched you up. At night, we went out to dinner at Dundee Dell. We had a coupon and it was a momentous dinner - it was the first time that we specifically ordered something for you. We ordered you a bowl of homemade applesauce. You did really good eating at the Dell - some mashed up chili beans, applesauce, some strawberry dessert. Then, 2 more errands and a fussy Lijah was out past his bedtime. But, you woke up in the middle of the night in pain with your mouth. You had a bottle then back to bed.

On Tuesday, we went up to see Gramma Debbie at the hospital. She was feeling better and on her way home but she got to love you up & show you off to her coworkers. Then, we went out to dinner again- hopefully, the last time this week! We went to Malaras. You had some of their delish bread and we gave you a cheese stick to gnaw on. I knew you wouldn't eat it but I had to take a photo of you gnawing on something from Malaras. You had a couple bitty bites of manicotti meat and were drinking a lot of water. We wrapped it up by all 3 of us sharing a piece of cheesecake. You have this new noise you are making where you smack your lips. It is so CUTE! You went to bed and woke up around 10 screaming in pain. We numbed you up with Orajel and I put you in bed with us. You woke up again at 4:30 in pain. Darn it - I wish this teething thing would stop but I know that we are just beginning.

Today, nothing much happened. You were kind of fussy at times, happy Lijah at times and then just screaming to scream. You were just a roller coaster :) I took a couple of videos of you on your walker and daddy put your sunglasses on. Nothing like a nekked baby inside the house with his sunglasses on.
