tooth #2

Well, not even a week after Elliott cut his first tooth he has a second one. Today the bottom left tooth decided to join the bottom right one. Those things are SHARP!

two new milestones

Milestone #1- Rolling over! On the night of April 1st (my mom's birthday) my little bitty baby rolled over for the first time! He was laying on his back and rolled towards the right and FINALLY got his arm out of the way and WAM! He was on his tummy!! Mom and I were on the floor with him and went crazy in celebration! April 2 we didn't give him much of a chance to roll over (no tummy-time) but on April 3 we put him down for a few minutes at Grandma & Papa Johnson's house and he rolled over for everyone there!

Here is a picture of my super star right after his first roll:

Milestone #2- A tooth! Well, my four month old cut his first tooth. (It made it's first appearance on April 4, Easter Sunday.) The first question I've been getting from people when I tell them that is "Oh, how was that?!" Well, he also had a double ear infection and major congestion during the tooth cutting process, so I'm not sure which of those things made him grouchy. He seemed to be a little ill during the day (wanting to be held a lot) but he slept pretty well during naps and at night. It probably helped a little during some of those nights that we gave him Tylenol before putting him to bed.

Do you see a tooth??

Look closely... it's there!

He was given Amoxicillin for his ears... and BOY DOES HE HATE IT! I can definitely see his will starting to show while giving him his medicine. It takes two people to get him to open his mouth and get all the meds down his throat (as opposed to down his chin and on his bib).

I can't believe my little baby has a tooth already! I just know it was yesterday that I was in Labor and Delivery having him!!!
