eeek!

Yesterday was brutal.. turns out Lilly decided to cut her first two top molars. she was MISERABLE all day long, refusing to nap, didn't eat much.. we went to grandma's in hopes of a good distraction which did work for awhile. and she ate some spaghetti and meatballs and fruit.. but good lord she was cranky! 3 minutes into the ride home she started to sleep, so Daddy climbed into the back to keep her awake til we got home. and i thought we were doing well, getting her to bed around 6:15.. that is until she woke up screaming at 7! It took us both quite awhile to get her calmed down, but eventually she relaxed.. Finally got her back to bed around 9:30, this time without a peep. Thankfully she's still quiet so I can get a few things done, the dogs out & fed, and run thru the shower.

oh yeah, and I'm fighting a head cold. great timing, eh? :)

the end is near..

a quickie update on the lil one..

Lilly now has 7 teeth, and will show anyone close enough by biting them! She bit me last night through my jeans.. anyone have ideas on how to stop her from doing that, or is it just a phase she'll outgrow?

She's down to scheduled nursing before naptime and bedtime.. but holding on to first thing in the am. I gave her a sippy of milk and held her yesterday, but she had to nurse a bit. Don't think she got much of anything before she went back to the sippy. it seems to be going really well! I'm still a bit sad about weaning, but I think the time is right for us both. especially since she hasn't been asking to nurse any time other than after getting up in the AM.

And the biggie.. Lilly can take several steps in a row before giving up and crawling, or grabbing her walker and taking off. not on demand, but she can do it!
