Joyful times!!

Makaley just got her first tooth last week. We all had been sick for a week or two and a couple of nights I was having a hard time getting Makaley to sleep. She didn't want to cuddle (this is how we normally put her to sleep) she didn't want to eat, she didn't want her binky. I tried laying down with her. I tried putting her in her crib to cry it out. After a couple of hours of trying. Mike asked me if she was teething. Just so you know, he has been asking this for the last six months whenever she has been cranky. ( She normally is not a cranky child) So just to appease him I held her down to check and see. Which that made her scream even more. Who likes to be held down? And sure enough she was cutting a tooth. So we got out the numbing quetips and held her down some more and made sure we got enough on her gums so that we could get some sleep. Luckily that was it. We haven't even had to use any more quetips since that night. What a good baby! We have been so blessed with her. I don't know what I would do if she wasn't such a good baby. I am sad that she is growing up so fast.
