Grumpy Gus or Crabby Patty.....

However you want to label it, Lizzie is definitely it! Her bottom right tooth is fully here and visible! And now I can feel the one next to it making its way up. The worst times for us is when she is sleepy. She is so difficult to console and it frustrates me and when she finally falls asleep, I am ready to collapse from exhaustion myself! For example, when I try to nurse her, she starts to nurse, but then she jerks away, arches her back and lets out a combination cry and whine. I am very thankful that she isn't a screamer, I don't know if my nerves could handle it.

Yes, I try to give her teething tablets, but sometimes I can't find them and then I am really regretting that....

Right now she is clawing at my pant leg and crying very pitifully. Poor gal, I wish I could make it all better....and how much longer does this last? For the next 2 years?? Goodie..........

On a happy note, if she is clamoring for attention, usually I can let her hold my two fingers and walk with her around the house, smiling all the way. Her other favorite game is peek-a-boo, and her laughter makes me so happy! And she is crawling everywhere and getting into everything...what a joy she is!

Teething is so hard! It’s so sad because you know it hurts like crazy, but there’s not much you can do to help ease the pain – though the tablets and gels help – it sadly doesn’t take all the pain away. Poor Lizzie! I hope those teeth come through quick so that she’ll feel better soon.

Hope you guys had a great Valentine’s Day!

Smiles,
Mindy

Thanks for the comment! I can't believe she will be 6 months tomorrow! It doesn't seem possible. That of course means your little one is nearing that one year mark...YIKES! I never thought I would say this, but...how time flies!
