drool much?

can someone say "teething?!"

we heart sophie the giraffe

check out this video of otto and his new teether..."sophie the giraffe". i had read rave reviews about this toy, but didn't really think that a teething toy could be that awesome. i mean, really? otto will gnaw on the carseat strap or his own toes and be completely satisfied. but this toy....it's fantastic. otto loves it, and greta loves it too. it's expensive, but i am truly considering getting another one so that they can stop having to take turns, otto teething it, and then me wiping it down so that greta can pretend play with it. got it at park and vine, for you local folks.

markers in the mouth

we think greta might be getting her two year molars. lately she has been putting EVERYTHING in her mouth....including the green marker.

Recipe for Disaster

Recipe: What do you get when you take one part 3 month old baby girl, add in bit of infant startle reflex, a slice of not wanting to be in a swaddle blanket and top it off with a case of early teething?

Well, you get a little Greta that fights going to sleep, wakes up when you put her down unswaddled, battles the blanket when you wrap her up, and if you happen to make your way through all that, wakes up wailing with sore gums... let's just say the non-crying Greta that went to sleep at 9 PM, and woke up at 5 AM for a short feed and then slept until 8 AM, well, that Greta is on vacation for a little while, and mom and dad are getting just a bit less sleep....

Hopefully she's returns from her migration down south when the weather gets warmer!
