Today has been uneventful, yet it has felt busy. Eliot continues to get up twice a night, which is manageable. After he woke up for the day, we spent the morning giggling and cuddling in bed. Then Chris and I took turns showering. We planned to all go to the grocery store because I haven't been in three months and Eliot has never been, but then he fell asleep, so I stayed behind.
Later, we headed over to Chris's aunt and uncle's house to visit his grandmother. She just loves that baby. Chris's aunt confirmed that Eliot has teeth buds showing in his gums, so I know I'm not nuts. I know those things looked like teeth, but couldn't find anyyyything online matching the description.
We weighed Eliot the other day. Twelve and a half pounds. He seems to gain a steady half a pound a week, which is great. He is ten weeks now!
So now we're expecting snow tonight. I was hoping today could be a little adventurous, but it was quite chilly. Tomorrow I suppose we'll stay in and work on school work. :)

I am so glad to NOT be worrying about work come Monday. I feel so more at ease. And, you know, it might really be needed since I am taking a class now. This is a new challenge to attempt to strike a balance with Eliot.
On to the next baby adventure to figure out. I am confused about teething. See, I know Eliot is a little young for it, but he has been drooling and eating his fist a lot. And when I look at his upper gums, it is like I can see his teeth beneath the gums--not like they're breaking through, but like they're IN his gums and I can see their indentations or are protruding or something. It is so hard to explain and I can't find anything similar online (either that or their explanations of appearance are just as odd as mine), and my sister didn't know what I was talking about. Ahhh! Are they just coming down and not cutting through yet?
Anyway, I bought Eliot a jumparoo today. :) I picked one out at Target online. $100 at Babies R Us. $75 on sale at Target. Chris loved it too, but I thought I'd try a consignment shop first. Well, we found the same one for $40 and it was just a little dusty. We brought it hope and Eliot didn't really know what to do. His tippy toes barely touch. Haha! But I wasn't expecting him to be quite ready for it yet or to take off jumping. I know he'll get it eventually. Just not yet. :) I was glad to save some money, though. And Eliot's favorite position lately is being bounced on a knee, so maybe the jumparoo will be good for that.
