We tried calpol, nurofen, teething powders, gel, soothing rings...the works...but still she was uncomfortable. Finally they have all sprung through so she is her happy little self again, until the next batch!
Developmentally she has come on in leaps and bounds. She is proper crawling, kneeling up with her hands off the floor, sitting up from laying by herself, pulling up to stand on the furniture and also standing unaided for a few seconds at a time. She loves being on her feet and is "walking" everywhere, obviously with the support of mummy or daddy! I really do believe we will have a walker before 1 year old.
She is weighing in at 20lbs and eating 3 proper meals a day. Her milk feeds have dropped quite dramatically but we ensure she has ample calcium in her diet. I'd say she only takes around 15-17 ounces of formula a day now, but plenty of cheese, yogurt, oats, cereal etc. She is certainly very strong and healthy looking so I think we are doing a good job.
This last month has seen her character really come through. She is just the cheekiest, happiest little girl and an absolute pleasure to spend every day with. She is so inquisitive and constantly exploring and learning. She finds many things hilarious and collapses into full on uncontrollable laughter...an amazing sound. She still sleeps like an absolute dream - 7am to 7pm and two one hour naps a day. We can't ask for better than that.
Time to update with a few recent photos I think and if I work out how to upload it, then a video clip too! I promise more frequent updates will happen this month and loads more photos.
