There are few things that Meg has done lately that I want to make sure and document. So here goes....
- She cut her first two teetth last Wednesday. I was kind of surprised by the appearance of them. She was extremely fussy or anything. She never drooled much, but neither did Brody. I think she is working on her top two now.
- She had some horrible rash that started last Tuesday and is still lingering on her legs. I took her to the doctor on Thursday and they said she was at the end of a viral infection. We had to cancel family pictures that were scheduled for Sunday because she looked like a teenage boy with extreme acne.
- When I took her to the doctor she weighed 18 lbs. 7 oz. I about fell over when they told me that. 6 days before she weighed 17 lbs. 15 oz. I couldn't believe she put that much weight on in just a few days.
- She is really jumping these days. We all get a kick out of her jumping on my legs and in her jumperoo.
- She is all over the place. Anywhere she wants to get she can get there one way or another.
- In addition to not liking peas we can also add applesauce and oatmeal to the list of foods that she is completely appalled by. I continue to try them and she continues to act like they are the worst tasting foods ever. But give her a biter biscuit and she will be the happiest baby on the block.
- She has been a little more cuddly these days. She will sit in my lap and we will just sit and smile back and forth and I will make some silly faces and she will laugh and then she will just put her head in my chest and then she will look up at me with those sweet eyes and smile. And she just does this over and over.
- She also is very aware when I leave a room now. It doesn't always bother her, but when it is naptime or bedtime she gets a little upset. Now that she isn't swaddled anymore she will find her way to the edge of the crib and pull the bumper down and peek through the slats of the crib to see if I am in the room still. Or she will try to pull herself up to peek over the top. It is so sweet. I am a sucker so I usually try to pat her back and get her to go to sleep but I usually end up picking her up and rocking her.
The best after church shot I could get
First night sleeping unswaddled
What my sweet angel looks like right now

What a blessing to have a relatively fuss-free teething child! And I was (and still am) a softie when it comes to bedtime neediness. If they want me to cuddle, I just gotta do it!
Oh my good grief, I miss them sooo much!!
