Obie started his teething and crying phases last week. Its enough to drive anyone up a wall. I do have to say, though, that Celeste is exhibiting great patience with the situations and I am proud of her. Obie has recently developed a taste for his own fist and I would assume it is because he is teething (and I use the term teething very loosely as nothing has broken the gums yet) and his teething ring is still too large for his mouth. The only downside to using his fist as a teether though is that he likes to flex his fingers while still in his mouth, effectively initiating his gag reflex. We also just bought the cloth diaper covers online. Found the best we could at the lowest price possible and now they have come in for a test run. So far they are everything everyone says they are and Obie is not suffering from what I like to call "Red-Raisin-Butt." Of course making the move to cloth diapers means more laundry and more frequent changings..
In recent news, my great grandmother passed away mid week (you can read the Obituary here)and I am a bit relieved that she did. She was tired and in no condition to be happy. I do regret not being able to introduce her to her ONLY Great-Great-Grandson, but as I mentioned before, I will do everything I can to inform Obie of his lineage and heritage. Thanks to Mr. Obie Etheridge, I can now start on a quarter of the tree! :D

Welcome to the blank slate of an infant newborn and watch how his life flourishes and fills with experience and knowledge to fill the pages of his existence.
