Our Kids

Phoebe is starting to get the hang of the sit. She can sit unassisted for a fleeting few seconds and can even grab nearby items. I can put a boppy pillow around her and she can sit for quite a while grabbing anything nearby.

Also when you are holding her she is grabbing absolutely everything. One of her favorites is her dad’s and her Grandpa Jack’s arm hair. Hee Hee. She will also twist herself all around in her bassinet to grab toys, books, big bird or whatever she can find to entertain herself. She is very interested in things, lights, people and most anything visual. Since she is so visually stimulated she requires silence and darkness to fall asleep, or complete exhaustion. Lucky for me she is not a cranky baby and she will force herself to stay awake (like she did at the recent wedding in San Jose) just to take in all there is to see and then once there is nothing left to see she conks out. She is a treasure for sure and so damn cute.

So my week has been ruled by teeth. As Piper’s first tooth is trying to exit, Phoebe’s first tooth is trying to enter and giving her a devil of a time. Phoebe’s tooth has broken through and I took her to urgent care to find that out:) Not really but she was so fussy and so not like herself yesterday I finally took her to a pediatric urgent care yesterday just to make sure nothing else was going on. Thankfully nothing else was going on and her day today went about like it did yesterday. It doesn’t help that she is fighting a tiny cold with extra mucous (Landis got it and I have it and Phoebe) and I think with that tooth cutting in too she is just fit to be tied. Poor thing, she can’t get comfortable and the day goes on and is just beside herself, but thankfully she finally goes to sleep and stays asleep.
