Teething Troubles









For the past month Allie has been teething consistently. She has clearly been in pain. Also, she has not been sleeping well. She hasn't slept through the night since her last doctor's appointment. The past few days, she has not taken a nap and, for the past week or two, she has been waking up several times during the night. She finally took two naps today! We hope this means it will be the end of this rough spot during the days. We sure are ready for those little pearly whites to pop on through! In the meantime, Allie's enjoying her refrigerated teething rings, frozen washclothes and frozen fruit and is tolerating the Orajel and Tylenol and teething tablets.



She is eating really well every night--3 tablespoons of cereal and half a jar of fruit. She is eating a little better in the morning, too. We think she just doesn't like eating in the morning. We will start feeding her at lunchtime next week.

She is getting better and better at sitting up on her own. She still balances herself with her hands, but she can sit up straight on her own when she chooses to do so. She isn't crawling a lot, but part of that has to do with the fact that we have hardwood floors in the living room, so she just slips and slides in there. She also got her first haircut Saturday--just a little trim of the "rat tail" in the back!







Here are a couple pictures of Allie opening her package from her Nonna and Papa:
