Nina is not a very happy little one at the moment. I guess you can never fully know but I am pretty sur she is teeting, there is lots of drooling and a slightly funny smell in her mouth which the good old internet assures me is normal for teething babies. She also doesn’t want to eat very much at all especially anything that is a little bit acidy. For example she usually loves strawberries and pears but now she cries whenever they go into her mouth. I guess it stings. Anyway, it’s pretty tiring as she’s not sleeping that well. She seems to wake every hour or two and whimpers for awhile. It’s pretty sad to listen to. We go and sit with her but there doesn’t seem to be much else we can do. We gave her some pandol for the first time the other night as she just wouldn’t settle at all.

Thankfully when she is not eating or sleeping she seems to be able to distract herself from it by exploring everything. Her favourite game is picking somthing up and giving it to you. Then you say thank you and give it back. We are very excited because now when we sing, “if you’re happy and you know clap our hands” she claps her hands. Not always in the right spot but getting there. She also has one of those toys in which you put the rings on the pole. She learned to take them off pretty quickly but recently she has learned to put them on. Funny the things you get excited about these days.
