Not so sweet dreams!

Two nights ago I slept awful! No reason just couldn't sleep. Then Elle woke up about 3am and just sat up and started talking. She has been teething (I think the tooth next to her first tooth is coming in) so she hasn't been sleeping as well. I went in to her room and gave her some Tylenol and tried to go to sleep. I fell asleep when Ryan woke up about 5:15am and had the craziest dream. I mean weird like when I was pregnant (no I'm not pregnant). I had a dream that I teethed for Elle. Like I had no teeth and I was teething. I guess it is because I made her inside me so it only made sense that I would make her teeth too (I know that makes no sense). So in my dream I teethed 21 teeth in one day! But they were baby teeth so I looked crazy. I remember walking around showing people how proud I was that Elle had teethed so much! So weird. Don't worry I slept great last night and I don't remember any crazy dreams.

Sippy Cup Success!

So on Saturday Elle figured out sippy cups! I always put a sippy cup on her high chair but she usually just plays with it. I have tried showing her by drinking out of it myself but she never got it. Well Ryan walked past her picked it up put it up to her mouth and she she sucked water out! These are pictures from today she really loves her new discovery. I was hoping you could see her tooth but you can't sorry.

Elle's first tooth!!!

On Saturday Ryan was playing with Elle and she decided to suck on Ryan's finger. Well in the process she bit him, a really bite with a tooth. Ryan looked and there it was on the bottom in the center on the left a little tooth has cut through. I had no clue to even look because she hasn't been drooly or had a fever. She has had a little attitude throwing a tantrum once in a while but over-all has been her normal sweet self. If this is Elle's teething I am the luckiest Mom ever!!!

By the way I went down to see the GI doctor and it was the biggest waste of time! I went paid my co-pay and they told me nutritionally she is fine and that I need to get her in to the oral feeding clinic. I told them I have called them 2 times with no call back. He replied "Did you fill out the paper work" I said, "What paper work" "Oh you can't get in to the clinic without paperwork" "What paper work!?" "Well I'll get it for you". So basically I drove 40 minutes and paid $20 to get paper work I should have had all ready. Anyway I am finishing the paper work then I will mail it, and then I can get an appointment.

Another by the way Elle has finished a hand full of bottles over the past week!!! Mind you they are small bottles but we are very happy. She drank 5 ounces this morning! Also I was given a food processor for my birthday. IT IS AWESOME!!!! I don't know how I did without it. So I am attempting to make my own baby food. It is so fun. I have only done green beans and bananas but more attempts to come.

Oh, pictures are coming. My Dad gave me his old camera (THANK YOU!) so I can take some pictures soon.
