The past few nights and days Alyssa has not been sleeping well at all. Last night she was up screaming on and off from like 1:30-4:30. She has also been really hard to get to nap. This was really disappointing since she had been doing SO well lately. She was sleeping from like 845-715 (although her wake up time is getting earlier and earlier unfortunately) and napping for 1 1/2 hrs in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I was afraid it was the peas I had been trying to force her to eat and maybe they were hurting her belly. I also had tomato sauce for the first time since she was 6 weeks old and I figured she still just might not be able to handle it. And then yesterday I think I found the root of our problems....her first tooth!!! I noticed a little white line on her gums yesterday and I got so excited. I don't know why I am so excited for her first tooth, but I really am. I couldn't feel anything yet though until last night right before bed. I could feel just a little something sharp. So I think her bottom left tooth will be showing here in the next day or so. I can also see a faint white line on her bottom right side so I am assuming that tooth is only a few days behind the left.
I am kind of sad I won't be seeing that little baby gummy smile anymore but I also love the baby smile with just the bottom two teeth.
My camera battery is charging right now so I will post more pictures to the month 5 album and maybe a video of her eating. I mashed some sweet potato when Dave and I had them the other night and she didn't like that either. The video of it is really funny. She is just happy as can be smiling looking around and then she sees the spoon coming and clamps her mouth shut! Shes getting a little sassy personality on her. She definately knows what she wants now. So far we have tried avacado, peas, and sweet potatoes. She locks her little mouth shut for all of them. And the more I try to force her the worse it get so we just keep on trying new things. I made some summer squash puree today so I am going to try that when she wakes up. If that doesn't work, we are moving on to fruits since they are sweeter. I wanted to do veggies first but she just won't eat them so maybe I'll get her eating fruits first and then mix some veggies in there. She needs to start eating so she can use those brand new teeth she'll be sporting here soon!

I can't believe that she is growing up so fast and I can't believe she has teeth. Hopefully, the sleep wont be interrupted for too long! Hope all is well. xo, Bri

Linds- I checked out the pics. The peas AFTER pic is hilarious. Her angry looks indicates that she did not enjoy them. But, I was noticing that the kitchen looks amazing (from what I can see) and I wanted to tell you since I know you guys put alot of work into it!
