Some New Things

Some new things happening for Alayna...

1. She is now (9/8) taking baths in the BIG tub with the bathtub ring. So far so good. She's not always a huge fan of water on her face running down her face to rinse her hair (which could become an issue when bathing with her brother and he does his splash routine) but she's done well so far.

AND....

2. TOOTH #2 is coming through!!!! (9-10) YEAH!!!
We were right. I think this is where most of the sleepless nights were coming from when we were gone for the weekend. They aren't back to "normal" yet - but getting better. I looked in her mouth yesterday and saw nothing and all of a sudden today - there are little white ridges. It's the second middle bottom tooth.

Alayna's teething symptoms:
1. She won't sleep in her bed from about 1am on
2. EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. (more than normal) Which leads us to...
3. She drools like CRAZY!!!! I looked at her the other day and she had a fountain of drool from her mouth to her neck - which is where it was collecting.
4. She spits up after she eats. With tooth #1 it wasn't as interesting. Now we are spitting up sweet potatoes along with milk. Much more fun to have mommy scrubbing out orange stains!
5. She seems to get the hiccups quite often - multiple times throughout the day. These often lead to spit ups as well.

So...now that we have the symptoms down I'm sure they will change for next time. :) Grant was totally different with teeth. He would have maybe a little irritation, but nothing like this. I think there were only 1 or 2 that actually really bothered him coming in. (Keep in mind he still has a lot to go - he only has 7 teeth and 2 molars (just started coming in)).

3. About 3 weeks ago now she started saying BABABABABABA all the time. I'm trying to get a video of it to post - it's kinda fun! Hopefully will have one soon.
