I have the post-Holiday blues (PHBs). I always get them a bit. However, this year they aren't as bad and I think it's because it's always fun to see what new stuff Solomon is doing. Usually, there's not so much to look forward to for a while. I was sad to drop him off at daycare again today though.
Having the last 4 1/2 days off was fantastic. We got a lot done and relaxed a lot too. NYE was fun as well. We went to Sara and Shane's house and just ate, drank and played Nintendo Wii. It was nice and low-key. Plus, we had Solomon with us and he was able to sleep in their daughter's pack n' play while we hung out downstairs with the monitor on. We did a little shopping for Alex b/c he needed some clothes. I think that made him happy. We also bought one of those doorway jumpers for Solomon. He seemed to like it this morning, but wasn't quite getting the jumping thing yet! I think he just likes anything where he can be upright. The other couple at Sara and Shane's house on NYE have an 8-mo. old. He was already walking quite well with a bit of assistance. We're going to have to get Solomon moving on that! :) Get off your butt little guy and walk! Just kidding.
Since we watched "Elf" on Christmas Day, I've been using the term that Buddy uses to describe himself, Cotton-headed ninnymuggins. I just love it. It cracks me up. We now call Solomon our "minimuggins". Also, the Fresh Prince of BelAir theme song is in a constant loop in my head. The reason why is because Alex has been DVRing the episodes on Nick at Night and we've been watching them. The humor has stood the test of time (10 yearsish) pretty well. It's still funny. I used to watch it when it was new as did Alex. Carlton is our favorite.
We also went to see "American Gangster" starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, at the cheap theater. It was good. I always find drug trafficking movies interesting for some reason. The woman who plays Denzel's wife is sort of weird looking to me. My mom and dad took Solomon for that evening. They said the woman behind them in church made faces and played with him the entire mass. Babies are such a good excuse to not pay attention at church! :)
KU is playing tomorrow night in the Orange Bowl. I hope it's a good game. I have no idea how to judge it as I've never watched VA Tech play and I'm no expert on football anyway. Go KU!!
Oh yeah, Solomon has slept through the night for three straight nights now. Poor guy was super fussy yesterday though. We thought he might be sick or getting sick. My mom kind of thinks he's teething b/c he's drooling so much and sucking on his fingers on one side a lot.. Any thoughts anyone who's been through this recently?

Hey Kelly! Happy New Years! Glad you all had a good one. I found this on the internet about teething and thought it was helpful....

Hey Kel,
Sounds like your Mom is right, he's about 4 months now, so he may be teething. Luckily Eli was a good teether, only had to give him Tylenol a few times, but the drooling was the worse. We kept a bib on him all the time from all the drool!
omg, Freeeeeeeeeesh Prince. LOL ;-)
Hey, girl. We tried the homeopathic teething tablets, and they work for some, but didn't work for Gus. We love Orajel. It works well, and you only need to apply just a tiny bit to their gums. It (and Infant Tylenol) was our savior when Gus was teething for the first time. Good news: once their first teeth come in, it seems to get much better. I guess they are used to it.
