isaiah's two front bottom teeth have broken through, which explains why he's been irritable for the last month or so. (which is practically his whole life, actually). he's also rolling over completely by himself. a couple of days ago while ellen was taking a nap i heard a suspicious noise, so i poked my head into her room and was greeted with the overwhelming smell of baby lotion. i had told her she could play in her bed until she fell asleep (meaning read the books i'd given her or play with her stuffed animals). she had reached to the top of her dresser and gotten all the diapers and lotion down to play with instead. but she did stay in bed. (i was rather impressed by that). anyway, lotion was everywhere...on the walls, on the animals, the sheets, under the bed. everywhere. she's resourceful i'll give her that.
