Teething Sucks

How come nobody ever told me that teething was the worse part about having a baby? Ellie has been fussy for the last three weeks which means mom has been fussy for the last three weeks. And yet no teeth have appeared yet, but boy can you feel them. Some days are ok, and some days are not. The only plus side is she wears herself out during the day so she is sleeping more consistently at night. The down side to that is she is exhausted by the end of the day and tends to have a meltdown right before bed time. I also wish I could say that we are on a schedule, but we are not. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I could probably use some help in this department.

Ellie is enjoying sitting up. She is still wobbly and we have only had a couple of spills. Now she just wants to sit up all the time.

So all in all we are fussy, often tired, and unpredictable. Can you tell momma has just about had it? It's this precious little face that keeps me from losing my mind.



Here are some recent pictures. I've been trying to take better pictures of Ellie in hopes to get some good ones. I have also been contemplating pursuing photography. I love taking pictures of kids and have often wondered about the career opportunities. I would need a lot more practice and probably some new toys. Let me know your thoughts.
