Brynlee finally has 2 teeth! Both at the same time, bottom middle. She has been showing signs of teething for several weeks so we are so happy that 2 have finally popped up! And, we are very glad we can blame her "off" behavior on the 2 teeth! She is still not quite back to sleeping through the full night every night. But she is much better. She is eating like a horse! I think she is just so hungry at night b/c she has been eating so much! She goes right back to bed after eating, but we were so loving not having to get up at all! Well, I should say Paul was so loving it because he is usually the one who gets up to feed her. Although it does still wake me up... :) haha! He hates when I say that when he was the one who actually got up with her! I have a problem with being able to get back to sleep after I am up (since it is usually around 5:00 to 6:00 am) so Paul gets up with her since he can go right back to sleep always. She definately loves her daddy too, maybe that is why! hmmm... :)
In other news: Brynlee doesn't take a Pacifier anymore!!! She will not take it at all any more. If you try to give it to her, she gets even more mad! So, she is paci free, at 6.5 months. We are happy about this because it means not having to get rid of it later when she is older and it is harder to do (although it was pretty easy with Gradyn). But, the down side is that now we pretty much can't get her to sleep anywhere besides putting her down in her crib. She was never a baby who let herself fall asleep in your arms (neither of our kids are!), we can't rock her, she won't cuddle, etc. But, at least the paci would provide a little calmness to let her relax in your arms. Now she won't at all. So, when we are out and about, we pretty much can never expect her to sleep.
She does suck on her bottom lip in place of the paci. She also does that when she is hungry. If she sees the bottle she starts sucking on that bottom lip.
I'm wondering if the paci was hurting her when she was first starting to teeth and that why she refused it???? who knows, but she will not take it! We have tried several times when she is hysterical or when we are trying to get her to sleep, but it just makes her freak out more. So, I guess no paci for us anymore!
She officially turned 7 months old on Tuesday. Getting so much more mobile (as if that was possible), acting older, and growing so fast!
Halloween pics coming soon!!
