Hello teeth! Yes, that is correct, Lauren is getting her teeth in! On her 5th month birthday and my 27th (year, ha) birthday, March 24th, Lauren's first tooth made its grand appearance! She had, for some time, been chewing on her "knuckle sandwiches" but not really showing any discomfort... that is until it poked through the gums! She has been tolerating it fairly well and it we are proud to say that the baby Orajel is still in its box and the seal unbroken! Thank goodness for teething tablets though! They are wonderful! They are 100% natural and Lolo doesn't mind the taste of them. In addition to the tablets, we also slip a tad of Tylenol in there to help her fall asleep at night, to take the edge off. She does not mind getting her gums and "tooth" brushed at all! I guess it is paying off letting her watch me brush mine in the morning. Since getting the tooth, she is more curious about what is in our mouths. I just figure she wants to know what is going on in her mouth and make sense of it all.
Also, during this past month, Lauren has experienced all of the "1st foods" and it is safe to say... she LOVES them all! There has not been one food she has disliked and I hope it stays that way. In addition to loving all food, she is not a messy eater at all! I guess that goes with loving everything that is on a spoon and goes into her mouth, she doesn't want to miss a drop! I bet she would lick the bowl if we let her!
Hmmmm, let's see, what else.... She is working on another milestone of rolling over from back to tummy. She mastered the tummy to back roll on Valentine's day and now she is just getting stuck on her arm for the back to tummy. I'm thinking it will be any day now! Though, I think she will be pulling herself up and walking before she attempts crawling, but that's just my guess :).
Her sleeping patterns during the day have gotten better and we are on more of a schedule. She still lets us know when she is ready for bed at night, around 6:30-7:00, and usually sleeps until 7:30 in the morning with few interruptions, if any. And during the day, she usually takes her "good" nap in the morning and then a snooze in the afternoon. So overall, it has gotten a lot better.
It seems like that is a lot to happen in a month's time but I know it doesn't seem that way for others. I can only assume that since it is Spring (or so the calendar says) there will be more stories and pictures to come, stay tuned!
