2010APR29 - It's the Tooth!

Well, it's finally here! After almost exactly 8 months, Jordan's 1st tooth has started to show. And the 2nd one isn't too far behind. Tonight he didn't cry at all. I just let him sit with me on the couch. He was playing with his toys and didn't even make a peep. Hopefully the evening crying is over with. It's another great step for Jordan, but a little sad for Elaine and I as he's growing up.

2010APR29 - Teething Con't

And the teething continues. The past 10 days have been a little trying for us. With Jordan's teeth coming in, he's been very irritable starting around 7pm. I have this theory that it might have less to do with teething, and more to do with him understanding that it's almost bedtime. He really doesn't like to be put down to sleep. In fact, when I carry him into his room, he immediately tries to look away from his crib. It's sort of cute, but sad at the same time.

Two nights ago he went down easily around 8pm, only to wake up at midnight. I didn't have to work the next day so I let Elaine sleep and went to try to calm Jordan down. We were up till 1am. The only way he would sleep was on my shoulder. He hasn't done that since Week 2. So the the past couple nights, I've been holding him till he passes out. It's probably not a good thing, but it makes him less stressed about sleep.

2010APR - Teether

No new photos yet from Jordan this month. At least, none edited yet. But generally, we've taken less photos this month b/c Jordan has been teething. Which means less "kodak moments." He's really been irritable and demanding in the evenings. Elaine bought these mini-pills that dissolve in Jordan's mouth. It's supposed to sooth the pain.

It's been tough on both Elaine and myself because Jordan now wakes up about every 2 hours at night. It's rougher on Elaine of course b/c she nurses him each time till he sleeps. But she's very diligent about taking care of him at night. She even is able to sound cheerful when she enters Jordan's room and calls his name.

This afternoon I got a call from Elaine saying that she now sees two small teeth that broke the gum surface. Hopefully this is the start of less whining, and more sleep!

2010APR04 - Easter

Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen indeed!

2010APR03 - Jordan 7 Months

Jordan hasn't really change too much the past couple months. About the only difference is now he loves to grunt like an ape. He's a little taller now too, but his overall look is still the same from his 5 month photo.
