High Chair

Isabella has been sitting in her high chair all week, starting with Father's day breakfast. She is having much more fun in her high chair and since it has wheels at the bottom, I have been pushing her around the house whilst I get things done as well, and most of the time she is happy to sit in it whilst I go along my merry way with the house work.

This morning before Scott left for work, already I had put on a load of washing, vacuumed the main areas of the house where Isabella would go to, ie her bedroom, our bedroom, ensuite and kitchen/dining areas. Also got hubby's lunch ready, as well as the usual juice, vitamins, washing baby's bottles, boiling water and also letting the dogs out from the side of the house. Doesn't sound like much, but it was a fair feat for me all in an hour!

8:30am, she is now asleep. I know I was really excited about Isabella's teeth coming out, and I am in a way, but I forgot about the sleep disruptions that come along with it. So, on and off, Isabella's sleep has been better and worse at times. Last night I was expecting a bad night after a stressful day since she didn't get much sleep, but she surprised us. One feed and about 2 or 3 dummy calls.

Anyway, here is a picture of Isabella in her highchair (proudly donated by our friend Paul)

Watch Out! Teeth coming through

Yeay!!! Isabella's teeth are finally coming through. She's been sticking my fingers in her mouth lately.. and I've started to feel something sharp. Last night she woke up crying in pain, not the usual hunger cry. So I knew immediately that she was crying from her teeth cutting through. We gave her some panadol and bonjela. Somehow I don't think the bonjela works.. cause she drools so much and ends up eating it anyway. She went to bed at 8:30pm and woke at 10ish because of her teeth, and then again at midnight, but didn't eat. Then woke again at 4ish in the morning for a feed and then just before 8am. This morning I can almost see 2 teeth pertruding from her lower gums. Yipee! I'll try and get some pictures.... if I can. Lol.
