9 Months

My nine month birthday was on Saturday.  We didn't do anything special to celebrate.  Daddy had to fix the sump pump and rebuild the computers in the house.  Mommy just cleaned and tried to get me to eat some puffs.  The doctor told her to try finger foods instead of baby food.  I don't like any of it, but at least I didn't get sick!  I wish she would just stop trying to force me to eat.  I will eat real food when I'm ready!  I think she is just hoping I will eat so she can start weaning me.  My second tooth came in this week and I have been biting her.  I know she doesn't like it, but it makes my mouth feel so much better.  I can't fight the urge.

This new tooth is worse than the first one.  It was really hurting me.  I was having trouble sleeping, I can't control my drool, and it is making my ear hurt.  Sometimes if I pull on my ear, that makes it feel better.  Mommy and Daddy have been giving me baby Orajel and Tylenol but as soon as they wear off, my mouth hurts again.  Luckily the tooth broke through my gums on Monday and I haven't felt like biting nearly as much.  I know Mommy is glad.  It was getting hard for her to feed me.

Back to my birthday - last month I have grown two teeth, eaten some puffs, and learned how to crawl backwards.  Keep reading to see what I accomplish this month!
