I'm an idiot

Eggy's second molars are coming in.  That explains all the moodiness and crying at night.  I feel like such a dumb ass for not knowing.  I guess it's kind of hard to know until you actually see teeth and then you go, "Oh, she must have been teething!"  So yesterday morning, I noticed that the second molars on the bottom were cutting through.  Poor thing.
Last night was pretty rough.  She must have really been hurting because she kept crying and saying, "no no."  I think she cried for almost an hour.  =(  Luckily, she slept through the rest of the night after we gave her some tylenol. This is probably the worst of the whole teething experience.  Even when she got her first molars, I don't remember it being this bad.  I hate those molars for causing Eggy pain.  And we're probably going to have to go through this again when the top ones come in.
Just before her nap, Eggy was sooo cranky.  Just in a foul mood.  I let her watch Pororo and Elmo's World and I took her to the playground and we swung her inside the blanket (she loooves that) and still, really whiny.  She went to sleep okay though and she's actually been napping for a little over 2 hours.  I think that's a record.  Thank you, generic tylenol.  I just hope she wakes up in a better mood.

Happy 7 Months!

Look what Eggy can do now!

haha, just kidding. She can't even crawl yet. But she's a real good sitter. And when she's tired of sitting, her highness will reach out for you to pick her up. It would be cute if she wasn't so heavy. My arms should be super buff like Madonna's but they aren't. hmph

And guess what else? Eggy's got teeth! Two of them! At first, we couldn't see them that well but we could definitely feel them. You can see them now though.

Looking back, her first teething experience wasn't too bad. We didn't even know her teeth had come through until a couple weeks ago. She's had a few fussy days here and there. And no fever. They say the first teeth and the molars are the worst so hopefully, the rest of her teeth will come in easy.

It makes me a little sad because she's going to look less like a baby with her teeth. I'm going to miss her gummy smile.

And my nipples are scared too. I really hope she doesn't turn into a biter.

While her teeth were cutting through, she wasn't super interested in food but she's eating a lot better now. Or maybe it's because she's no longer constipated. Anyway, she's had sweet potatoes, avocado, squash, apples, pears, and prunes so far. She seems to like the sweet potatoes and avocado the best. I'm going to try peaches tomorrow.

I lovelovelove to hear her laugh.

Hearing her laugh always make me laugh. And sometimes, all it takes is a look to crack me up.

New snack

I think she still prefers her hand. When I'm trying to change her diaper, I have to pull her feet down because they get in the way.

Eggy had her 4 month check up with the pediatrician a couple weeks ago.

Height: 26 inches (95th percentile!)

Weight: 14 lbs. 0.1 oz. (55th percentile)

Head Circumference: 16.5 inches (73rd percentile)

She had to get 3 shots (ouch!) and one oral vaccine. I hate needles but I'd take her shots for her if I could.

Her doctor also said that she was teething. That explains all the drooling. Her teeth probably won't show until 6 to 8 months though. And he wants to wait until she's 6 months before we start solids. I don't mind waiting because for me, solids = stinky poop. I should say stinkier poop because it's pretty bad now.

It's been pretty rough these past few weeks. I don't know if it's the teething or what but it has been so hard getting Eggy to bed. She cries every night now. She does fine during the day for her naps though. It's only at night. I hope this doesn't mean we're going to have to cancel our trip to Vegas. Again. Keep your fingers crossed.
