Strange Day

I'm not quite sure what to make of our day.

Ellery was in a strange mood.

Maybe she's not feeling well.

Maybe she's in the throws of teething.

Maybe I'm not paying enough attention to her.

She took a nap at
8:30 (1 hr. long)
11:30 (1 hr. long)
2:00 (1 1/2 hrs. long)

She was yawning and ready for bed around 5:30, but I had her watching Baby Einstein so she would be entertained until Cary got home. He wasn't here for more than 20 minutes before she needed to go to bed.

I do see a tiny dot of white on her gum; which I assume is a tooth.

I would have attempted to get a picture but with her squirrely attitude today she wasn't putting up with much of anything, much less me rummaging around in her mouth to get a picture of a tooth! After a thorough cleaning of my hands I stuck my finger in her mouth and didn't feel anything, but she chewed and sucked on my finger like it was candy! :)

Over all she was just fussy and cranky. I thought maybe she was bored but at one point this afternoon I was convinced it was just that she wanted held.

That's when I had to turn her off because I can't hold her 24/7 and I have things I need to get done! Sorry, Ellery. One day you'll understand.

She kinda ate. Only at her 5:00 solid food meal was I convinced she was actually hungry. Other than her first nursing this morning she really fought me to nurse and eat solid foods today.

Moms out there....thoughts???

all signs point to teething.

yes, I agree. Caroline is always off when she is teething and never has much of an appetite, and she doesn't sleep well. Teething is such a pain!
