Lots to update!

White caps!

This explains the endless feeding and extra fussiness. Ely has maybe 4 or 5 white caps. One might even be erupting. I noticed it while we were in the car and he was crying. Poor Ely had to be patient has I took pictures. It is usually very hard to take pictures of his gums but it was really the only chance I got. It's sort of early for a barely 3 month old to have tooth buds already. I wonder when it'll erupt. I will need to get some things to sooth Ely. I tried putting stuff in this mouth to help sooth him but he probably thinks I am crazy because he pushed everything out.

After 3 hours, Ely finally fell asleep. It may have been over 3 hours but the poor guy finally conked out. He slept from 9pm to 2am. I don't think he slept through it entirely but I think he may have. I was too tired to remember if he woke up or not.

Doesn't he look peaceful? He is going to sleep as long as he wants to. He is very tired from exhausting all of his energy on the little teeth of his. It's not fussiness actually. It's only natural. With soooo many little teeth trying to erupt, he is probably in a lot of pain! Poor guy!

Tummy Time

Ely doesn't like tummy time. At least he looked cute even though he didn't like it. He needs to build up his neck muscle so he can have solids soon. His mouth may be more ready than his neck. His neck will need to be strong so he can start eating solids.

Karate Baby
Here is Ely practicing some karate baby moves. Actually, not really but it sure does look like it! Ely usually hates being in the car seat so it was a rare treat for him to be smiling while he was in the car seat and I was take pictures of him.

Vibrator
Oh how Ely loves the bubbles on the vibrator! He doesn't like to sit in it more than 15 minutes but it may be getting headaches from not blinking and starring at the bubbles.

Doggy play time

Toby and Charlie had a blast while Bucky stayed with us for a little bit. Most of all, they loved eating Bucky's food and treats. It was funny to see Bucky and Charlie gang up on Toby. Bucky tried to blind Toby by licking Toby's face while Charlie tried to make Toby trip by gnawing at Toby's leg.

South Center Mall

I would have never known this existed unless a friend showed us this. There is a family area with individual feeding area w/tv in two parts of the mall. There is even a huge play area for older kids as well as a potty area with one toilet for mommy and another for junior. Did I mention concave counters for diaper change and pull out diaper trash cans? The only thing I didn't like was a lady who opened up the curtain the stall while I was feeding Ely. I wasn't even in the first stall!
