An okay night but an extremely crabby day of bad teething today so we had a mostly quiet day at home. If you look very carefully at this picture you can see the tiny first tooth, the second one seems to be just barely breaking through. Sofie is now officially pulling herself up, kept trying it several times today!
Another rough one last night and pretty grouchy most of the day today. Had a quiet morning at home and a very long midday nap. Then Daddy came home from work early so we all headed to the park for the afternoon. At bedtime I discovered the second tooth has started poking through!
Had an okay night but still teething bad today. A very brief nap this morning then a trip to the grocery store. Then we spent the afternoon at the Summer Soul-stice Festival down on Main Street, where they had all kinds of live music, Sofie enjoyed people watching and her first music fest!
Had a rough start to the day when Sofie refused her morning nap, thanks to bad teething, I think that second tooth is close! Did some shopping and went for a long walk with Charlie, then we headed down to Santa Monica College for their 4th of July Celebration. We didn't make it to the fireworks, but managed to stay out almost a full hour past bedtime!
Had a great night last night, Sofie slept for hours straight which hasn't happened in a long time. Spent the morning having fun Baby Time where we met a lot of new babies close to Sofie's age, including a boy born on the exact same day in the same hospital! Had a mellow afternoon playing at home.
A rough night last night and discovered today that Sofie is pretty constipated, just having difficulty adjusting to all the solids according to the Pediatrician, she suggested giving her prune juice to help so of course that means its time to introduce a sippy cup. We spent a cranky morning at home, then this afternoon walked to the store to buy sippy cups and juice and stopped at the park on the way home. I can count the number of times Sofie has drank from a bottle on one hand, so fingers crossed the sippy cup goes a little better, she was really into holding and sucking on it empty, but once we added juice later at home she was no longer so keen on it so we shall see.
Had a fairly rough night and quiet, lazy day today. Walked to the store this morning then had a long nap and played at home this afternoon. Caught a quick glimpse of the tiny ridge that has broken through her gums! Hoping to snap a picture soon.
A better night last night and a fun, busy day today! Had an early lunch with Mormor Lillemor then spent the afternoon down at the beach, playing, swinging and people watching. Sofie was exceptionally fussy at bedtime and, as I was rocking her, I discovered what felt like a tooth!!! Stay tuned for visual confirmation!
Rough night but great day today. Ran some errands this morning and then we spent the afternoon in the park enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Daddy taught Sofie some dj skills at the park.
A better night last night but Sofie was teething bad today and I definitely saw the blister on her gums, so hopefully that means its close! It was another beautiful day of summer weather, we spent the morning playing at home and taking a long walk with Charlie and then spent all afternoon in the park, finding fun ways to make Sofie laugh.
A very rough night again, her congestion kept her from sleeping well, then today I caught a few glimpses of what looks like a blister on her bottom gum, so unless I'm imagining it, hopefully that means we're close to a tooth. Had a busy day with beautiful weather, spent the morning at the Farmer's Market on the Promenade and then spent the afternoon on the grass by the beach. Needless to say, the teething was really bad all day.
Had a really rough night last night, think Sofie may have napped too much during the day. She also seems to be congested, not sure if it's the teething, food allergy, or allergies that's causing it. Had a mellow morning playing at home and then spent the afternoon in the park.
Rough night last night, not sure why, think her stomach may have been upset. We spent the morning visiting my old office then had a mellow afternoon at home.
A better night last night. Spent a mellow morning at home playing and then taking a long walk with Charlie. This afternoon we went for a visit to our friends the Damms to meet their new beautiful baby girl Bronte. Sofie can't wait for Bronte to get a little older so they can be play pals!
Kind of a rougher night last night, not sure why, Sofie seems to be switching up her feeding times so not sure if that has something to do with it. Spent the morning shopping-- Sofie got a new hat! Daddy and Sofie spent the afternoon playing on the grass at the beach while I had a meeting and then we had a walk with Charlie before bed.
We had Sofie's 9 month check up this morning and she weighed in at 14 lbs 12 oz, still a tiny girl but growing steadily! Spent the afternoon buying some new toys and playing in the park then finally got Sofie to eat some solids again: it was a full body experience.
Best night sleep so far last night and another long nap on her own again today. Sofie studied up on the ballot and helped me vote today. Otherwise a pretty mellow day at home crawling up a storm, we're definitely in need of some baby-proofing asap!
Another good night's sleep last night and managed two (fairly short) naps again today, but Sofie was teething really bad and pretty miserable all day. She is crawling all over the place and especially likes to make a beeline for Charlie's toys.
Had another good night's sleep and again two naps, one of which was the first long nap Sofie has had in her crib (and not in my arms) since she was four months old! We spent the morning at the Farmer's Market with our friend Greg and had a grouchy, overcast afternoon walk. Sofie's teething is really making her miserable, hoping she gets some relief soon!
Finally had a good night's sleep and managed two naps (one short one) today! Still teething pretty bad, but we had a great afternoon in the park crawling and playing with Charlie.
Another okay night but again only one nap today which meant that by the afternoon Sofie was so crabby and teething so bad that she wanted to do nothing but be held, so I strapped her in the carrier and we took a long stroll along Main Street until Dad got home. Sofie is really crawling now, she's still slow and stops every few steps but she can make her way across the floor!
A so-so night but another day of only one nap, not sure why Sofie is refusing her regular naptimes, I don't think she's really ready for only one nap as it has left her pretty tired and grouchy. Mormor Lillemor spent the afternoon and evening with us and we celebrated her birthday. Sofie helped unwrap her present by chewing on her card.
Had another rough night and bad sleep today, only managed one nap again. Sofie was pretty grouchy and teething bad most of the day. We tried some peaches this morning but she was not a fan, I think they were too tart. We ran some errands this afternoon and Sofie did some more almost-crawling moves before bed.
A partially rough night (awake the first half, but slept well the second half) and a crazy day today. Sofie was teething really bad all day and refused to take an afternoon nap because of it, so she was basically up all day! Decided to spend the afternoon in the park to keep her mind off the teething, and while playing on the grass Sofie started crawling forwards for the first time, not a full-on actual crawl but we got forward motion, so close!! Another first today was Sofie saying "mama" and knowing she was actually asking for me and not just stringing words together, heartmelting!
