Teething, teething and more teething.....

Yes, the teething continues:-( However, today we noticed that one of her lower teeth has cut through! Hopefully that means that the worst is over for now.....only 31 more to go! I shouldn't complain, she really was not that bad. Just fussy and on one or two occasions, inconsolable (right Nana and Grandad Murray!??!)

We had our 6 month follow up at the breastfeeding clinic (yes, I'm *still* breastfeeding) and we were weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz. So obviously her weight gain has slowed, but remains healthy. I give her a bit of formula mixed with expressed milk when she takes a bottle, but can't seem to let go of the nursing. It depends on the day, somedays I think I've had it and other days I can't imagine giving it up. She's improving with solids, but hasn't yet mastered it. She takes a good three or 4 bites per meal, but the rest she just pushes out. She's not bothered by it though, so we shall continue.

Her newest obsession is her feet- they're in her mouth every chance she gets. Here she is getting ready to devour her left foot:


I give her Mum-mum crakers after her meals (don't worry, they're essentially rice cereal and instantly melt on her tongue) and you can see all the little bits she's pushed out of her mouth. Can you say messy?


Here are she and her daddy watching the tube. It fascinates me how mesmerized she is with the TV. If it's on, she's watching. And the funny thing is that Mark's the exact same way. I catch him totally caught up in Dora and the Backyardigans when we turn it on for her, because he can't help but watch it if it's on. Forget trying to have a conversation with him if the TV's on. I fear she's going to be the exact same way!

Reese loves her new piano she got for Christmas. I explained to her that she couldn't use it until she can sit up on her own and she suggested the Bumbo chair because she just couldn't wait to tickle the ivories. Worked great as you can see:
