my aching teeth

madelyn had a tough day today because of her teeth bothering her - A LOT. she was so desperate for relief that she would whine/cry every time she couldn't get something into her mouth. the funniest to me was when she was trying to fit the toy phone handset into her mouth. i don't know what she was most upset about, that the phone wouldn't fit in her mouth or that it was attached to the base - take a look. (again, its a little long.)

she also was saying "dog" very clearly. i would ask her where the dogs are and she would crawl to the window, look down into the yard, and say "hi, dog" or "hey, dog" when she would see one of them outside. i was trying to get her saying it on video with no luck, but i did get her 'talking' to maggie laying on the deck. (you might even notice that she starts to whine when she can't bite on the window for relief.) she talks like this a lot - to her toys, to matt and i, to the dogs, to her friends, etc. i just think that her little voice is so sweet, but i am extremely biased. enjoy!



maddie is still getting over her illness and had her first 'normal' meal today for lunch. i hesitate to call it normal though. even though she ate yogurt with apples and tahini, it was like she had forgotten how to eat. i laughed the whole time (which is probably why she kept doing it). she would just smack her jaws to 'chew' each bite. it was almost as if her teeth hurt so bad that she didn't want anything to touch them, but still wanted to eat. i am just glad that she is taking in something more than milk and cherrios!

tomorrow morning we have a play date with some friends we haven't seen in a very long time (and even one friend that maddie hasn't even met yet). and daddy is going to have some more time to recover and rest. love.
