Growing up is hard work! My baby is 6-months!

The last week has been spent trying to get over vertigo and the weekend was spent caring for a teething baby.

I have to give BIG KUDOS to my hubby for picking up the slack when I couldn't. He's been a tremendous help and even though sometimes I want to pinch him for doing or saying something intentionally (in my head) to upset me, the one thing I have and will always know is that when it all comes down, he's got my back! Enough about him. I will be doing another post to sing his praises later on this week.

I got home on Thursday evening and could barely function. J immediately took the baby downstairs and let me sleep for what felt like 30-minutes but was actually 2-hours. I was so tired, I didn't even hear the baby downstairs and oftentimes, I can.
That sleep really did my body good. Friday evening, I came home to a teething but happy baby. Well, that all went out the door as the weekend progressed.

My baby is teething and her discomfort is getting to me :-(. I wish there was something I could do to help her out. That coupled with the sudden temperature change led to her having a cold. She is definitely fighting a good fight though cause she isn't letting the cold keep her down.



Months 5 - 6: (Height: TBD, Weight: TBD @ next appointment)
Our little JOE turned 6-months yesterday. She is a mover and a shaker. She can "crawl" from point A to object B by rolling and doing a leap frog. Its quite comical but cute nonetheless.

Unfortunately, she is now so used to my phone's camera that anytime I pick it up and point it at her, she stops and smiles and refuses to move. A friend suggested I use my iPAD to record her moving since she isn't used to it. I will try that soon. I am so proud of my baby. I mean, what parent isn't right?

    1. Great idea/great minds. I have done that the last 2 nights and its helped her. I feel so bad that I can't help but this is one she has to go through on her own. Oh well...praying those teeth come out soon. I can see them trying to break through the surface.

  2. Goodness! Such a cutie! I love that she knows to lose for the camera. Genius baby.

    Hope she is feeling better. I wish that babies could get teeth without the awful teething experience.

  4. What a happy baby but I know that teething is troublesome for the wee ones. My grandmother use to put some beads on the babies that would take the pain away. I wish I knew the name.
