Emma has been a lot more fussy of late, including a few days last week where she would not fall asleep, despite looking quite beat. There are a few possibilities for the change in her behavior.
1) We started giving her vitamins.
They taste and smell awful (because they've got vitamins!...for those who know Mark Lowery) and they seemed to make her fussy, potentially from gas. We tried giving them to her directly out of the dropper first, which she hated. The nurse suggested putting them in some milk for her, which we also did, but she still seemed fussy. So we have not given them to her for a few days, and she has been sleeping better and overall less fussy, so it could have been the vitamins.
2) She may be teething.
Emma has started drooling like a drool factory! She also gets her fingers, clothes, etc in her mouth as often as possible. This could be because her hand-mouth coordination is improving, but it could also be soothing if her gums are hurting. Its hard to tell for sure if she is actually teething, especially since it is on the early side still, but we'll keep an eye on it!
3) She is a baby. Sometimes they cry and we don't know why! She is mostly a very pleasant baby, so we really can't complain if she has a fussy spell now and then.
In other news, Emma holds her head up really well now. She is looking so much older!
And the other day we saw the most brilliant rainbow ever! It was a double rainbow and you could see the whole thing of BOTH of them. Sadly, by the time we loaded up the kiddie and grabbed the camera this was all that was left.
Other highlights of the last few days:
My parents came to visit for a few hours on Saturday and brought along my garage door opener (which will be installed tomorrow!!).
