Our one-toothed, runny-nosed 7 month old

Happy 7 months, Audrey! And what better way to turn 7 months old than with a very runny nose and a new tooth?!? That’s right…her first tooth came in yesterday! It’s very hard to see but you can definitely feel it! And you can tell she’s trying to figure out what is happening in her mouth. Her tongue is constantly rubbing over her tooth and of course, she’s still chewing on everything. Now I’ll just have to watch out for biting…

The past few nights have been kind of hit or miss as far as sleep goes for me and Audrey. She’s having a hard time breathing with her snot-filled nose and with her gums hurting, she’s wanting a little extra love and cuddle time. Poor thing. I'm enjoying her loving on me more but it's sad that it's because she's hurting. She wakes up a couple of times in the night so I go in with the good 'ol nasal aspirator. Imagine a dark room and a very tired mommy trying to stick the small end of the aspirator into the nostril of a squirmy, tired, frustrated, teething 7 month old. To my amazement, she doesn't cry in the middle of the night. (she hates it during the day.) It must bring such relief that she doesn't think it's worth all the effort to get upset about.

ok...now it's time for the 7 month pictures. I took them this morning and the older she gets, the more entertaining these pictures are going to be. Once again, I couldn't pick only one, she put on quite a little show! notice all the shots of her trying to eat something (her toes, the giraffe's toes, the giraffe's head, etc.)

We love you, sweet pea!
