I think we finally have a tooth coming in on Ellie . . . which made her scream uncontrollably most of the morning, and the entire time I was out visiting teaching (making me acutely aware that if the woman had had a blog, my screaming child and I would surely shown up on it as examples of how 'not to visit teach' on it.)
I saw two little bumps where a bottom tooth should be coming in, I swear it, but now they're gone. Greg probably thinks I'm making up this 'alleged tooth', as well as our daughter's hysterical theatrics, since she's always on such good behavior (and tylenol) when he gets home.
Ellie is also now finally crawling around like a crazy baby . . . making me, of course, wonder why I was so anxious for her to be mobile. Don't get me wrong, I love watching her explore and develop and I think it's amazing that she can now get to a toy that she wants and it doesn't require any effort on my part . . . but I am now having to vacuum twice as often since she has the baby/puppy ability of finding even the smallest piece of trash or discarded food on the floor, and have to make sure all of Annie's non-baby-appropriate toys aren't anywhere within swallowing distance (obviously this was never an issue with the first child), and make sure she doesn't crawl anywhere dangerous in say, the 20 seconds I try and run in to use the restroom. Thinking about locking her in the closet. I'm pretty sure that'd work.

I thought that was WHY we were so excited about your walk-in closet/second nursery? Of course, then you would have to keep the floor of your CLOSET clean and that just seems like WAY too big of a hassle. :)
I totally relate to the crawling thing. I think I vacuum pretty much every day. Otherwise Davin ends up eating who knows what off the floor. Also, I can't leave him alone. I have to put him in his high chair in front of the tv to shower. I hope Ellie breaks her tooth soon. Teething fits are never fun.
Just put her in the closet with Annie and the syringe...at least that way she would stay properly hydrated!
