Here come the teeth

Ella is officially getting her first tooth! It is very exciting, yet kind of sad at the same time. I can tell she is in pain, and is of course fussier than normal. The fussing doesn't bother me, it is the fact that I cannot help take away her pain. She seems happy chewing on a cold wash cloth one minute, but is crying and red faced the next. I wish I could make her feel better! We did try giving her a pain reliever, it seemed to help and she went right to sleep. Hoping for a silent night tonight!

We had her 6 month check up yesterday. She is 16 pounds, 2 ounces and is 25 inches long, putting her in the 50th percentile for her age group. She is able to start eating other foods now and we started green beans last night, she was not a fan! she did a bit better today, but I had to mix them in with the rice cereal to get her to eat them. The doctor did notice that her lower eye lashes are growing in towards her eyes, so we will need to keep an eye on that. Hopefully, it will correct naturally and the lower lids will start pushing out. I find that so odd, I never really thought that could be a problem! She got 3 more shots as well, so it was a rough day for her yesterday. Tooth, shots and green beans all in one day!
