Teething - Round 2

We have entered the second round of teething. Unfortunately Lil Miss still only has two little chompers coming, in but by the way she is acting you would think she was getting a mouth full of teeth. She is crying a lot and just wants to be in her mommy's arms and suck her thumb so that was how we spent a large portion of our day yesterday. Luckily she is sleeping well (thanks to baby Motrin) and even took a 2 hour nap yesterday which she never does. We also went over to our neighbors house for a little playdate which was a lot of fun. The 3 kiddos played and the other mommy and I talked about what else, our kids. It was a good distraction for Katie and she had fun playing with some different toys. Next week we will be hosting at our house and I will try and remember to take some pictures.

So as I sit here enjoying my decaf coffee and eating my cereal before the sun has even come up, I am reminding myself that today is a new day. Hopefully Lil Miss will wake up happy and cheerful and back to her old self. And if she doesn't, than I will get a second day of cuddles....which I think can handle.

Teething Troubles

I am happy to report that we finally got a break in the teething process Friday when Katie's pain seemed to subside a little and we got our normal, happy girl back (at least for now). Earlier this week we had a very fussy, grumpy, unhappy Lil Miss who was never really content. I would be playing with her and she would all of a sudden start crying and want to be held. Then I would be holding her and within a few minutes she would start fussing again and want down. Sometimes she would just wonder around the house crying and nothing I did seemed to help. I felt so bad for her and even after trying a variety of teething remedies, nothing really seemed to bring her comfort. Even at night she was waking up every couple hours until I gave her Motrin and then she would sleep for 5-6 hours. Needless to say by the end of the week this was one tired mommy who felt like nothing I did was helping. Luckily on Friday I got an e-mail from Sharry with a picture of my little girl who was happy even with a large amount of drool coming out of her mouth.

Yesterday she was back to her old self but still only has one little tooth poking out, at least that I can feel. I am hoping she is getting more than one though because if the past 5 days of pain was only due to one tooth, this is going to be a very long process.

Here are a couple more pictures from this past week.
