While you are sleeping peacefully at night

Elijah is growing like nobody's business. After his first two teeth came in about four months ago, we had no more signs of teeth until the past couple of weeks. In the past three days or so, six teeth have erupted.

Four on the top.

Two more on the bottom.

We've had a couple of sleepless nights, and one early morning (like 3 a.m.) changing baby and bedding because he actually threw up. Everyone else is sleeping through it all. It's kind of nice to hold my baby without any other kids hanging on my legs or begging for snacks and just let him fall asleep in my arms. As long as I get to go back to my own bed and sleep for a few more hours, too.
There's brother's arm going in for the tickle again. It really, really bugs Jack and I sometimes that big brother cannot keep his hands off little brother, but Elijah loves the attention, and Jack Jack loves to make him laugh. It's kind of hilarious when I'm not irritated because E's crying and laughing sometimes sounds exactly the same and I can't tell which it is if I'm around the corner.

Happy birthday big boy! I'm sure you are going to love your birthday pancake, your cards and presents, your dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and the red velvet cake, cupcakes, and birthday cake ice cream that you Ellen, Jack Jack, Rose, and Daddy picked out.
