So Abbie's teething. I know I've said this many times before (well, I've at least though it), but this is it. She cried every half hour last night, chews the snot out of her fist and mine, and there's a waterfall coming out of her mouth. Needless to say, we haven't gotten alot of sleep the last couple nights. And Abbie is exhausted. She nearly passed out while I was holding her in my arms this morning, but when I put her down in her crib, she spent an hour and a half not falling asleep.
This is, of course, after a 2 week long cold, followed by a double ear infection (for which we are still taking antibiotics). I think we got 2 nights of good sleep before she started back up with the teething this time. And to add insult to injury this morning, she decided that for the first time in 4 months, she was going to wait until her diaper was off before peeing all over her last pair of clean pants. So after she didn't nap for one and a half hours, I just brought her downstairs in her sleepsack, so that her legs wouldn't get cold while her laundry is drying. So when I went to feed her some rice cereal, we got to fasten Abbie into her 3-point harnessed high chair somehow with a sleepsack on. Given the morning thusfar, I was not surprised to find out that mushy just wasn't her thing at the present time, and she didn't want to eat her cereal nicely. And she's always trying to grab for the bowl and the spoon, of course. So I decided, "to heck with it, let her have it."
