(Are you sick of hearing about her yet? ;))

I've been thinking Rebekah has been getting bored with her toys lately. We've only given her 3 main ones to play with previously, so yesterday I got out the two expensive ones we bought from the maternity shop (well, traded for the maternity top I bought but never wore).

She seems to like them.

But. I've decided she's not bored with her toys... she's crankier than usual because she's teething. That's what I reckon, anyway. There's no evidence of this in her mouth yet. The evidence is in the rosy cheeks, the excess drool, and her constantly putting her fingers in her mouth. Oh, and the crankiness! Can't forget the crankiness! She's not too bad really as far as cranky goes (still placid as), but has been waking up during the night (from 6.30am onwards until her normal wake up time of 8-8.30am) and being awake for longer periods in the day she tends to make herself heard more.

At first I was thinking it's because she's not going well on the 4 hourly feeds four times a day, and at times she's not feeding well, but I don't think it is that now (and if I'm feeding her less often you'd think she'd be guzzling it down when she gets the chance!).

I've also noticed since going to the four hourly feeds that she now has a feed, play, sleep, play schedule instead of feed play sleep as it used to be. I guess her nap times will evolve a bit as she's getting older. Can't wait to do 'prep for toddlers" and that should help us out with it a bit too.

I will buy her a teething ring tomorrow.

Rebekah and her new toys. She's a 'brainy baby'!
