Teething

The last couple days and nights, my happy baby was taken down drastically by teething. Her gums were swollen. She had a fever that wouldn't go away. She wouldn't eat. She wouldn't play. She couldn't sleep. She was irritable. She clung to me or Auntie Felicia all day and all night. Even Daddy wasn't welcome and that really hurt his feelings. This was the first time she experienced so much discomfort due to teething.

Fortunately this only persisted about 2 days and 2 nights. Now she's almost completely back to her normal self. She's playing. She's laughing. She's silly. She doesn't need us to hold her all the time. She's sleeping back in her crib again. She's eating her solids. The only thing she's not doing is drinking as much milk as before. Compared to the last couple of days, this is already vast improvement and Randy and I are smiling ear to ear because of it. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our baby happy.
