May flowers? NO! They bring a big freaking lake in our backyard! When the winter snow melts away or we get just a little too much rain for our liking, we suddenly look like the house on the lake. Do you think we could list that as a selling point when we get ready to move again?
So what do you do with a very active 2 year old boy that is just itching to get out of the house? Just add water!
No, seriously, I want my baby back! I don't know what has happened to my laid back, easy going little girl.
I swear she has been teething for what seems like months now! And just recently she has decided that she doesn't want to nurse. Not because she's distracted but because she appears to be in pain.
This has not been going over well with me. I told you Addison was a champion teether and never seemed bothered by the fact that teeth were trying to cut through his gums. OUCH! So I'm having a very difficult time dealing with Amarah's constant fussiness.
And I don't even know for sure if it's teething! Thought it might be an ear infection so I took her to the pediatrician last week. Nothing.
I feel like I'm torturing my child by forcing her to eat. I feel like she is slowly going to start rejecting me or have a negative association with breastfeeding.
Many tears have been shed over this by both of us. I don't know what to do anymore! Do I take her back to the pediatrician again only to be told there's nothing wrong?
A couple of my friends have suggested having her seen by a chiropractor. Still not sure how I feel about this.
I just wish that if it was indeed teething, I would see a stinkin' tooth already!
Maybe I'll just have to resort to rubbing a little whiskey on her gums like they did back in the day.
Here you go Amarah! 1 shot for you and 2 shots for Mommy!
Addison: I'm short Mommy.
Me: Yes Addison, you are short.
Addison: You're tall Mommy.
Me: Yes Addison, I am tall.
Addison: You're tall like a mountain.
Me: (laughing)
Addison: Amarah is short...like a blueberry. I'm going to call her Mr. Blueberry.
Addison to Amarah: Hey Mr. Blueberry! How's it going Mr. Blueberry? Do you like your crib Mr. Blueberry?
Ahhh...the mind of a 2 year old!
We have a finger sucker! Neither Addison nor Amarah took to a pacifier, much to my dismay. It would have made our lives so much easier those first few months but no such luck. I know I will appreciate this later.
Just recently, Amarah has discovered her fingers. Not her thumb but her fingers. 2 fingers to be exact.
She even enjoys them with a side of bathwater.
Ok, I'll admit that I think it's too cute now, but ask me again in 5 years how cute I think it is. Can't complain right now though. Self-soothing at it's best!
