Teething

As we have mentioned, Emily decided that 13 months was just about the right time to cut teeth, so our perfect little angel cut her first one while we were back East. She is now working on a second tooth and has been quite the little devil. She has had a fever & runny nose and is more fussy than not. She has become pretty clingy to her mom, dad, teddy bears, baby and blanket (and of course her pacifier) and has a hard time parting with any of them. We've also had a difficult time getting her to take a decent nap and to go down quietly at night (giving us flashbacks to her first three months -ahhh!). Last night, we, or I should say Jeff - as I was in a meeting - was attempting the nightly routine with the only results being a baby that was screaming so much that her nose was running worse than ever and a dad that was beginning to question his decision on fatherhood. However after an hour and a half of his pleading and her screaming, she finally passed out. When we went back in to check on her, this is what we found...

Now how can you possibly stay frustrated when you see something like that???

What an angel. It is a good thing we have these moments to remind us huh? They are such a test and such a blessing these little ones we have in our care.

She is so CUTE! Of course, I am a little biased, but... :). Hope she's not too much of a brat and that you get SOME relaxation time!
