At Home with the Hataways

Cruisin for a Bruisin'

Oh boy. My little buger is cruising. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. She just amazes me more and more every day. Today, she actually let go of the couch and stood alone for a couple of seconds before diving for me! She is just learning so much so fast, and I am losing a little bit more of my baby and gaining a little bit more of my little girl every day. She is finally getting her top two teeth, and they have been torturing her for the past few days. She has been crying, or more like moaning, at around 3:00 am the past two nights. I go in her room and lay with her in the bed in there, and she just moans herself back to sleep. It truly is pitiful. Tylenol helps some, but it just don't do the whole job. I knew I would see a little "hole" in her gums for a tooth to come in, and sure enough it was there yesterday morning when I checked. I can't wait for them to come all the way through so that she can be relieved for atleast a few days from her teething woes. Another big change this week, I completely switched her to formula, and let me tell you, the child LOVES her bottle. I feel kind of bad because I just don't think I have been satisfying her with breastfeeding for a while now. I could tell my supply was going bye bye, and since I have weaned she seems so much more happy! And on a final note, she now waves bye bye! She is just so smart. I look at my little what to expect in the first year book and she is doing everything she is supposed to be doing up until about 10 mos! Now, if I can just get her to crawl! I may have to just be satisfied with my little scooter though. I was a scooter, hence the nickname "Bug" given to me because he said I looked like a little bug moving around on the floor since I never did get up on all fours. Allie seems to be getting closer and closer though, so maybe she will be a crawler before it is all over with!
