Ellie has really started to develop over the past two weeks. She has been trying to cut a tooth for it seems like months, but finally the week of the 16th she got her first one. It was on the bottom. After it came in, she was back to a non-fussy baby for a couple of days. Then she started to get fussy again. Especially at night time. Last Monday we were playing on the floor, and I got a good look in her mouth (she is VERY protective over her teeth) and noticed that she had another tooth breaking through on the same side, but on top. She does not take a pacifier very often, but she has been chewing one like crazy.
Also last week (Tuesday) to be exact. Ellie started crawling. She had been flirting with the idea for several weeks. She started her movement by twisting and turning to get to any destination she wanted. Next she became a master at crawling backwards. Then just a few days before she took off forward, she would push herself up and lunge forward, drop down and lunge again. Finally on Tuesday she had had enough of not being able to get around...quickly, so she took off.
She has not stopped since. She is now crawling her way to anything with some height so she can pull herself up. She thinks that she can walk sometimes to, only to find herself crashing to the floor. But with her dedication and determination we will have a walker very shortly.
Then on Thursday she started to get really fussy, and this carried over into Friday. I thought maybe her second tooth was still bothering. So I gave her some Motrin and she was better. Then yesterday while we were playing I notice that she was cutting another tooth right next to the first one on the bottom. This poor girl is going to have a mouth full before she is 1. But she doesn't mind, then she can finally eat "real" food.
Well this concludes my updates. Maybe I will be able to keep things caught up. But don't bet on it.
Happy Summer!! :)
