Grumpy

Madeline was grumpy today.

It was clear that her gums were hurting her, and she had great trouble both getting and staying asleep for naps. We did have a nice interlude outside, though.

Summer helped Madeline to walk across the yard while I watered the plants.

Madeline's very enthusiastic about using her legs. Today's assisted walking seemed to distract her from her unhappy gums and lack of sleep.

And eventually she made it across the yard to me!

I rubbed my fingers on tomato leaves, dill, basil, and thyme so she could learn some interesting new smells. But mostly she wanted to walk or be held while she chewed her bottom lip.

  1. I love the picture of her in the clover! She looks like she hurts in that first picture. Cutting teeth is no fun at all ... and there are so many more to come. xo N

  2. Try putting a washcloth in the freezer and let her her chew and suck on it. it will help with the teething and the heat. Love Mom
