Mads has been a little sad lately, and she's really tired all the time. So I tried to cheer her up by letting her go crazy in a huge pile of shredded paper today.Her expression is about as excited as she got. It was strange cause she was doing the motions of having fun - throwing paper and lifting it up - but the face... not that into it.
She was asleep about 10 minutes after this picture. Poor little love muffin. I wish I could do more for her.
I think it's because she's growing and because Madeline Olivia, darling baby of mine, has a TOOTH! We discovered it on April 30th, 2009. I was so excited and surprised when I felt it. She is such a tough little gal. It is located in the center of the bottom gums. Wanna see??
Look closer...
Up until today she hasn't really bitten me. I mean, she would nibble a little, but only when she was FINISHED eating. I was happy about it cause it was sort of a sign she was done. But tonight she bit me over and over when I started to feed her. Not sure how I'm gonna handle this one. I'm going to give it my best shot cause I would REALLY love to keep breast feeding her, but I gotta protect the teet. I don't know, but the realization that we are closer to not breast feeding anymore and that my baby is growing at a rate that appears to be immeasurable is really getting me down tonight.

Tell me about it, Toshi is going to be 2 years old next month can you believe it, and he has a mouth full of teeth, and he hasn't breast feed for a while now but every once and a while he'll squeeze a boob, fond memories I guess.
That is so exciting she has a tooth coming in! I think Sawyer is getting more as well because he has been a little sad too. SHE IS SO DARLING.
Oh sweetie!!! I feel for ya. Sometimes you have to be down in the dumps for a minute, before you are able to appreciate all the new milestones...like teeth. I know I just want to cry for different reasons with my Hannah and Gracie...just because I am not able to devote more individual attention to each of them and their individual milestones like I did with Julia. But you know- it all works out in the end. It's obvious that you are treasuring every single moment and so I am pretty sure you will look back on this time in your life and hers with very few regrets :). She IS growing so fast though.
