Teef

Baby Ella, yesterday I put my beanie on you and we had a photo session. Well more like I took pics of you while you played with a toy and had no interest in looking at the camera really. You were in such a good mood, a far departure from the day before. What a relief. You started teething and it turned everything upside down. There was the fever and the non stop fussiness, the lack of sleep for everyone involved. Poppa and I felt terrible! We couldn't do much to relieve the pain and itchiness or at least in guessing that's what it felt like. We had no choice but to ride it out. And as daddy left for work, I was a little fearful of what lie ahead.

Luckily we got thru it, and you've been in much better spirits since. I'm exhausted and and going to catch up on my sleep now. And in case you're wondering it's 6:30! But in my defense, I do wake up for work at 3:30, although you have been waking up around 2 and refusing to go back to sleep. Instead, you want to play and say "dada", but sorry little bird, dada is asleep. I know one day when you're sleeping thru the night and no longer need me to nurse, I'll miss these nights.
You're almost 6 months old! And such a beautiful, spirited girl! *sigh* I get teary eyed when I think about the time that's passed so fast. I love you little bear -momma
