Just Part of Growing Up

Isaac had an appointment with the doctor today.  It was his 6 month checkup about a month late.  He turned 7 months last Friday:)  He had his first vaccination today.  He was a champ!  I was so relieved.  However, it has been a challenging week so far because Isaac is teething.  He has about 4 teeth coming in on the top and he does not like it.  I don't mind the teeth but the lack of sleep is a whole other story.  He keeps waking up every couple of hours at night.  During the day, he doesn't want to go to sleep.  But he is growing up so quickly.  He weighs 21 lbs and is 28 inches.  I guess he decided to slow down on the weight gain just a little. Which BTW, he doesn't want solids.  He is interested in cups, straws, keys but no food.  Did I mention my baby is 7 months old?!  How did that happen?

I wonder why God designed tooth development the way he did. Justice is getting the last of his baby teeth (at least I hope they're the last). I discovered that frozen blueberries are a yummy and soothing treat for a fussy teething toddler. We need to get Isaac to eat solid food so he'll have other tooth relief options.

I freeze a washcloth for my baby girl. You can moisten the corner and then put it in a baggie (so it doesn't stick to anything in your freezer) and leave it for a bit. It seems to help for a little while at least. I hope he's feeling better soon.

Our prayers are with you all for a good night's rest.
