Last night was rough, for all of us. Poor Beatrice cried every 20-40 minutes, whether she was asleep or awake. Her teeth are just driving her crazy. The two middle bottom ones have "popped" through, and it looks like there are at least two more on the bottom trying to come through. You can kind of see it in this photo. If you squint.
She also fell on Sunday and whacked her forehead such that she looks a bit like a Klingon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon) - the link is for those of you who aren't super-dorks. Luckily it's not too bad, but she does have a sizeable knot on her forehead. It's more noticeable in some photos, less so in others.
But other than that...constant pain, lack of sleep, repeat...we're fine and when we keep Bea distracted and on Motrin, we're having fun. Beatrice has started feeding herself. Or at least attempting to, holding the spoon herself, thank you very much.
We went to the Children's Costume Parade on State Street on Sunday. Beatrice was somewhat interested in the other kids and dogs in the parade. Her main interest though seemed to be the flashing crosswalk sign which she stared at for ages. I do wonder what goes through her head at times.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for our Beatrice.

I think I told you that the first time Chase's tooth broke through the gum, there was blood everywhere. I remember she was sleeping, I heard her cry, I ran into her bedroom, only to see her face, hands, pillow covered with blood. POOR GIRL. It looked like a scene from a scary movie. I've found frozen yogurt (literally freeze yogurt) Popsicles work WONDERS. As does baby Tylonol.
I do reflexology on Kai and we have never had a sleepless night - it works amazingly well... worth a try! If you ask them to show you what to do you can do it everyday before bed!
