Bekah's teeth (or lack thereof) and new toys

[snofox]

(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'!

"Here's my caterpillar"

"...and here's my book."

The batteries have died since we bought it, so must get more tomorrow.

"Let me just lie here and suck my thumb"


Mat was helping me get her attention. She shot him these daggers at one point.


"OK, have a smile then, but can you stop with the photos now?"


Teh cuteness, with added dribble.


tinamarie said my camera takes great action shots. Here's another one ;)

Bleuuughhhhhhhhh. This was taken ages after her feed! How inconsiderate of her.

I am teh mean mother! ;)

I take a heap of shots and not many usually are worth using. I just click away cos often you miss the best ones if you're waiting and waiting for that smile. She might smile so briefly that you miss it. When I clicked I looked and went "Oh! She vomited!" and Mat was like "Did ya get a pic of that Mum?" and I was like "Nahhh..." but then I put them on the puter and saw that I acutally did! Hah!

I will save up all my action shots and some time in the years to come post them all. I have 3 so far ;)

I am not that great with pictures, it's just that I take my camera everywere, take pics of everything and take lots of them of the one thing! Heh. I don't have an eye for it like a couple on my friends list do, and I can really see the difference. When there is the odd moment that I get a great shot, I milk it for all it's worth *grin* (See user pic).

See?

So that's how you do it! I usually only take one picture of each thing. I need a memory card or whatever it is that will let me put more than 20 pictures on my camera.

And HAHHAA about the new icon. Poor baby girl. ;P
