Elizabeth was exhausted after shopping the other day.   Paul & I were noticing something funny about her (and probably about most kids)…. Elizabeth can be super chatty and babbling, but the second you get on the phone with any family member, she won’t say a word.   She is CONSTANTLY saying “dadadada”.  Nanny Doreen got back from Egypt and Paul wanted her to listen to Elizabeth, but of course, she is completely silent the second Doreen answers the phone. 

After reading some forums online, it doesn’t seem odd for a baby to be teething for weeks or even months at a time.  We’re so tired that we’re hoping that this won’t be the case for us.

Yesterday was garbage day.  We have 2 dumpsters, but only manage to fill one with actual garbage.  The other one keeps getting filled with old landscaping.  Since they were freshly emptied, we filled the landscape dumpster again last night.  I have “before” pictures of the side yard, but after 3 fills of the dumpster, we’re still not done and ready for “after” pictures.  Maybe I should take some “during” pictures, so you can see the difference?
