Teething

Just when you think she is finally recovering from a tooth coming in, it's time for more! Kamryn's back teeth are coming in, and she's had quite a time with it. It has caused her nose to be runny and she is basically just really irritated. Lately, it seems like nothing is making her happy. She wakes up in a bad mood. Then, when I pick Kami up from daycare, she comes home in a bad mood.

Usually, I can put her straight to bed for a nap after daycare and she just konks out. Not any more. Her teeth are bothering her so badly that she can't seem to get comfortable. Plus, she is congested. So, I have to give her some "little noses" so she can breathe. She had been sleeping through the night so well. But that came to an end this week. Lately, she has been getting up around 3 in the morning and fussing.

But here's some good news! It seems to have finally come to an end! Yesterday, she finally woke up in a great mood. She got home from daycare, konked out, then woke up as happy as can be. I think those teeth have finally pushed through. When Kami is in a good mood, she is such a joy to be around! She truly brings out the best of me and Josh. Those of you who know Josh know that he can come across as the alpha male, man's kind of man. But when he gets around Kami, he truly melts. It is so awesome to watch those two bond. Kami truly adores him. She's always saying "daddy, daddy, daddy!" over and over. She only says "momma" when she's ticked off!

This weekend we are going to see Josh's dad, Kami's paw-paw. The last time Kami saw paw-paw, she cried and was scared of him. How embarrassing!!! Those of you who have had babies know what I am talking about. You know, when your child is petrified by someone you love. You just want to crawl in a hole and hide. My mother said I was afraid of a sweet man with a bushy mustache when I was little. There was something about that mustache that frightened me! Well, pray we will have a good visit with paw-paw and Kami can behave herself. If the weather is good, we will take her outside to look at the horses. She loves the outdoors, although she is scared to be placed in the grass. Hopefully, she will have a great time this weekend! I'll keep you posted.
