Teeeeeth and Fatherhood

At our 4 month check up our pediatrician said she rarely sees teeth come in before 6 months. Well, we sure proved her wrong! Here we are at 4.5 months and we have TWO TEETH. I can't believe it. We knew it was coming because of the excessive drool, but we didn't know it would be so soon. She wasn't really cranky about it either. She's had a few nights where she was upset right before bed, but I can't be totally sure it was because of the teething.

Last week was when I first noticed the teeth. She pulled my hand into her mouth, bit down, and WHOA, there was something poking through. So I pulled her little lip down and sure enough her little gums were a little bit red and there was the first teeny tiny tooth. Sometime between then and now, we've procured another tooth as well.

Outside of sprouting teeth...

Pregnant Chicken posted their April Round Up yesterday and this was on it. Hank Azaria made a little 12 part documentary called "Fatherhood." I seen 6 of them so far. I just finished the episode "Being a Kid with your Kid" and they're at Disney World. They're GREAT. So much humor and not terrible on information either. It's interesting to see all these celebrity dads (Rainn Wilson, Mike Myers, Kevin Bacon, Joshua Malina, Jim Gaffigan, Bryan Cranston, etc.) telling stories, especially the episode on screen time since they're all... you know.... on TV and in movies.... I love it and I highly recommend watching it.

 

Speaking of Fatherhood, here's some photos our sweet baby and her daddy.

Holy 3 Months and Teething, Batman

Our little pumpkin is officially 3 months old now. My, how she's grown. She's always had personality, but it's amazing how much it shines through these days.



 

Look how fast that hair is growing! Also, we apparently taught her to curtsey this month.

She's happy and giggly (and bubble blowing) most of the time, but let me tell you, last night was probably the worst night we've had in the crying department. We tried rocking her, bouncing her, laying her down, nursing, paci.... alllll the things that normally work. After a solid 30-45 minutes of serious crocodile tears I got a cold wet wash cloth and let her bite on it and it seems to help a little. We finally got out the RazBaby pacifier and that helped even more. So I've officially diagnosed her as teething. We've suspected it for a little while now since she's been chewing on everything (her hands, her bibs, Sophie.... anything she can pick up), and she's quite the droolbox. An adorable droolbox.

In the sleeping department we've regressed a little. She's still going to bed around10:30-11, but instead of sleeping through til 7ish, she also wakes up at 4. It could definitely be worse, so I can't complain there. I think now that she's a little older we'll probably start getting her into a more solidified routine. The hard part about that is that we're not really routine people. We're more of the "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of people, so we'll see how that goes.

We got to spend this last weekend at Nana's house in Knoxville. It was a beautiful weekend with lots of park time, kite flying, family, and food. There's always food. So grood. And this weekend we're going to Gatlinburg, maybe. The trip was part of my Christmas present from Cory. But after last night we're not totally sure it's a good idea. We definitely don't want to ruin someone else's weekend with a screaming little one at night. But maybe we will. Who knows.

That's all for now folks. I leave you with these sweet baby pictures. We're so proud!
