4 months...and some other stuff

Our little guy is 4 months already, and we took some good shots of him in a cute pirate onesie from Josh and Shelley (thanks, guys!). Hard to believe that he's more than halfway to the half-year mark. His teething is still in full swing, drool and all (they say that teeth tend to first show between 4 and 6 months, so I guess we're on tooth watch now). He was sleeping great for a little while, and then in the last week or two has decided to revert back to waking us up just about hourly--ugh :( He doesn't seem to need to eat every time he gets up, though, so we try to just soothe him back to sleep with some rocking or a pacifier. Here's hoping that doesn't last forever (cue all experienced parents laughing at that remark).

The other 'stuff' mentioned in the title post is that Joey has accepted a job! This is both super exciting and super stressful for us, and this past weekend has been a mad dash of getting things done--we've discovered that this has been significantly more difficult with a little bean around. I'm holding off on posting anything online about his job until I get back to work and have the chance to speak to my manager about it since it definitely affects my job as well. I promise more info soon, though, as well as updates about how our first week of work and daycare goes. This week is a big one: 4 month doc's appt and vaccinations on Monday, back to work in the mornings T-F with Oscar in daycare those mornings. Then the following week I'm back to work full time. Wish us luck!
