11/09/2007: "Teething"

It appears that we're beginning that wonderful time known as teething. Dessa's been drooling up a storm for a while now and for the past 3 days she's been a real handful - fussy, unwilling to nap, just generally crankier than her general sweet nature. She's trying to chew on every cloth that comes her way, is quieted by cold teething rings and... well, we're not completely stupid 'round here. We put two and two together and figured out what it all means.

There's nothing to see as yet, but possibly by Thanksgiving something will be peeking through. It's a good thing she's getting the hang of using her lips to get food off her spoon, because until recently I was relying on her gums for that.

We're working slowly through introducing new foods. Rice cereal and oatmeal went down well, so we moved to veggies. We started with peas, which got a hilarious reaction. Little bird that she is, she opened up for cereal and... what a surprise! The look on her face was priceless and the first day of peas was not her favorite. Next day we tried again, this time along with some cereal and she took it like a champ. Third day was even better and now, while I wouldn't say peas are her favorite, she tolerates them just fine.

Yesterday night we introduced her to squash and that went over quite well. She gobbled her tablespoon of squash and tablespoon of oatmeal in 6 minutes flat and was raring for more. We'll stick with squash for another two days and then go with carrots. Then it's green beans and spinach, which I suspect will not be as triumphant. We'll move on to fruit from there.

I have lots of pictures from the last few week's adventures - feeding, excer-saucer fun, tummy time. My computer is still DOA, but hopefully that will be remedied this weekend and posts have more pictures soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

I think she'll come around on the vegies. Kiki didn't like fruit AT ALL when she first started eating, but then she tried Pear Pineapple, and things have been different since. xoxoxoxo to all of you!!! Jeannie
