Molars!!!!

What the heck? I really thought this kid was done teething, but here we go again!

Sophia's been having very restless sleeps for the past few nights - waking and yelling out or whimpering in her crib. Not enough so that I have to get up and go into her room, but just enough to wake me up. Will can miraculously sleep through anything.

When she's awake, she literally has her entire fist in her mouth and is trying to chew on an anything she can find that's hard. I've been giving her lots of cold things to eat, but other than that she hasn't had much of an appetite.

She hasn't felt like napping either, which was OK today because we had to go to Babies R Us to pick up some gifts. On Sunday, I'm going to a baby shower at 1:30 and then we're all going to a First Birthday party at 3:30.

This morning Sophia was playing with her FAPES (shapes). She can identify and label the CIRCLE, FARE (square), TRI (triangle) and the SAR (star). We had a low key morning because Sophia was acting tired when she woke up.

After lunch (cucumbers and gold fish) we went to My Gym for an hour of free play. Then we headed to Babies R Us which is a 25 minute ride in the car. I was hoping that she would take a cat nap in the car, but no dice. It had been been sprinkling all day, but right before we got to the store the sky opened up and it started to rain pretty hard. Good thing I bought Sophia a new raincoat yesterday! Isn't it adorable?

Anyway...picture this: Sophia's first tantrum happened in the car because she didn't want to get out! Meanwhile I was standing outside of the car getting soaking wet trying to grab onto her and trying to hold the stupid umbrella between my neck and my shoulder. When we finally got into the store I immediately noticed they didn't have a single shopping cart available for us. So, Sophia had to walk beside me.

Did I say walk? What I meant to say was wander/dart off/stray/linger behind me - and totally stress me out. Here I am walking around the store with eyes in the back of my head (are you still picturing it?) and trying to read a baby registry and figure out where in the store we needed to be verses where in the store we currently were simply because Sophia decided it was time to touch everything in that department. (Oh, the joys!)

When we did finally get a cart it was pretty wet even though it had been wiped dry. Oh well. I'll take wet over stressed out any day.

She was pretty patient in the cart until the very end while we were standing in line and she proceeded to throw things within reach out of the cart. Now that's a really fun game!

She did fall asleep in the car about 5 minutes before we got home. She was snoring too. She woke up when I tried to transfer her to the crib from the car and wasn't able to take a nap at all. Oh well...it'll be another early night to bed for her.

Keep your fingers crossed that her molar breaks through soon.
