Oh how life keeps-a-changing with a baby! Two and a half weeks ago I never believed that I would ever get 8 straight hours of sleep again... And I can now atest that miracles do happen! Teague is sleeping through the night and it is a beautiful thing. I have to admit that I am very hesitant to even write about it for fear that I will somehow jinx it. So I try to refer to it as him "getting his job done" - that is what my friend Amber calls it with her little guy, Michael! We don't like the possibility of jinxing such a beautiful thing! Seriously, three weeks ago he was like a newborn and I wondered how I would ever function being back at work, but daycare has done wonders for Teague. He is a great napper, eater, sleeper, etc. Ryan and I were just commenting on how long it has been since we have actually heard him cry. Now of course he fusses here and there, but even that is a rarity - he is just the happiest, silliest, most adorable baby. He about dies laughing/smiling every morning when we drop him at Tina's (daycare) and looks around to see if there are any kids there yet and then gawks at them. He is trying to wave bye bye and even managed a little wave for me last Friday (I am guessing it was a fluke, but nonetheless super cute)!
Teague has one tooth with the other one on the bottom just begging to come out. His gums are quite purple, but it doesn't seem to bother him. I tried putting Ora-gel stuff on his gum - well he keeps his mouth shut so dang tight that I can't get my finger in there and it just ends up on his lips, so I stopped with that.
Teague is also thinking very seriously about whether he would like to crawl (and I keep begging him NOT to do it)! He rolls onto his belly and gets up on his hands and knees and then plops to the ground as I let out a huge sigh of relief and think to myself "phew, one more day that I don't have to worry about baby proofing the house"!
So all in all, things are good. Being back at work is going really well. Bball season is getting long, but still fun - and it is only half over! I am contemplating cutting back to 4 days a week next school year - but that is if I find someone to job share with me - which I think I have found someone. So now I will need to sit with Ryan and get serious about if I want to do that or not.
Luckily this weekend looks to be a bit warmer. We don't have a lot planned, just a couple of bball games and water babies. Teague and I are trying to decide if we want to go up to Nana and Papa's for the day on Sunday since Ryan has little guy bball. We'll see how lazy I feel!
Have a great weekend!
