Teething, for real this time

So, I could have sworn that Elizabeth was teething for the past, oh, 3 months, but I think it is finally upon us. She had a pretty rough day yesteday, just out of sorts. I have heard horror stories of the poop associated with teething, and I am pretty sure that is what is going on right now. The best part is that she has been pooping in the middle of the night, or early morning, so we are 'pleasantly' surprised at what we find when we go and get her up.

It was raining yesterday so we didn't go on our morning walk, and went grocery shopping at 7:30am instead. Ellie fell asleep on the way home so she didn't get her breakfast. She woke up around 10 and I tried to put her in her highchair to have some pears, and then came the waterworks. I mean ALLIGATOR tears, for no reason. I pulled her out, held her close and we tried it again, with the same result. She was just not her happy-go-lucky self.

She has also started to say "mama" but usually only when she's cranky! :o) I still love it just he same. The thing is that when I tell her to say 'mama' she will move her mouth in that way, but doesn't say anything, and does this randomly through the day, which is another reason why I think she may be teething.

I sure hope this is over soon because I sure hate seeing her like this (although I was soaking up her lovey-dovey nature yesterday after her naps when she would just lay her head on my chest while playing with the strings on my hooded sweatshirt ... I didn't care that I was hungry or had to pee ... I was going to eat that up!).

Updates to follow as to when these silly little teeth make their grand entrance.
