Hair Twirling and Teeth Grinding

That is two of Miley's newest tricks. Last week I mentioned she was pulling her hair when she sucks her thumb. Well for the last few days she twirls it with her fingers. My mom informs me that was something I would do all the time and Stephen's said Hannah (his littlest sister) also did that when she was younger. It is very cute! Not so cute, is the teeth grinding. Miley's upper teeth are cutting through so fast! Three days ago she started grinding the upper and lower teeth making what sounds like a whale clicking. She doesn't do it in her sleep, just when she's awake and not chewing something. My birthday night she slept for 9 hours straight, it was so wonderful for both of us to get the rest. Last night, not so good. She woke up at 11:30 and then was like up for the day at 3 climbing all over the bed and over Stephen. She finally went back to sleep around 4:30 but was very cranky this morning while getting ready for daycare. The poor baby is just having so much trouble cutting these top teeth.

Long story but we went to the ped's office yesterday because daycare wouldn't take her. She's been fussy there and apparently that's not like her. They wanted me to watch her for 24 hours since she's not been taking a bottle very well the last few days (I don't have any trouble getting her to eat). Anyway the Dr. said her ear infection is gone and she's teething so she's uncomfortable. All four top teeth are coming in right now, OUCH!! So I missed a day of work and paid a co-pay for the Dr. to tell me she's teething, duh. Oh well, at least we know her ear infection is better. She weighed 18 lbs 1 oz (1 oz in a week) and is now 27 inches. The daycare took her today so I just went to check on her at my lunch break. She's doing much better with her bottle, she's a little fussy. I guess she just wanted to play hooky for the day. Man, they learn so fast ;)
