BOLC .. & Developmental Milestones

For the first time in Elijah's life, I had to wake him up this morning. Of course -- the only morning we've needed to get up and get out early would be the morning that he is prepared to sleep in. He didn't even wake up in the night. Anthony and I woke up at 0530 so that we could get to the airport for o700. Elijah was still sleeping at 0600. I woke him up -- quick diaper change, a bottle and I snapped him into his car seat for the ride ~ he slept the whole way!

Anyway ~ the airport run was to drop Anthony off for his flight to San Antonio. He's got 42-or-so days of Basic Officer Leadership Class with the Army. It's all a part of his HPSP deal. Elijah and I will see him over the 4th of July weekend ~ Elijah's first plane ride.

During bath time tonight I stuck my finger in Elijah's mouth to see if I could feel a hard spot on his gum ~ he'd been particularly fussy a couple weeks ago and has not been napping well. He drools on everything and of course, everything that he can get into his mouth - goes into his mouth. Signs of teething, right? You betcha! He's got a little tooth sticking out of his gum ~ lower right! (: First tooth: 16 weeks. wow.
