Well, we've had an interesting couple of days. Alina has been adjusting to her medicine, but then she also started teething again. I swear she doesn't go two weeks without starting teething. The last big teething was about a three weeks ago and she cut two big Molars in the back of her bottom row. Now she seemes to be getting more on the bottom and starting her top as well.
We had a nice visit with my brother and his family on Saturday, but then when we got home Alina had a bit of a meltdown and wouldn't sleep. She fought sleeping like I haven't seen in months.
Andy said that his Father's Day was the best one he's every had (funny since it's his first). He got a shirt, chocolate, and a sweet kiss from his little munchkin.
Today was so much better for Alina. We got the Motrin into her in time this morning, went to Mother Day out and got worn out, did a nap, and when I got home tonight from work she was excited to see me. She was soooo sweet this evening. She snuggled in my lap and drank some pedialyte. Andy and his Mom went to Lowe's so we did her bath, read a couple of books, and then she relaxed with her head on my shoulder while I sang her some songs. Those moments are some of the most precious.
Alina doesn't just relax. Usually she's full energy and then will just lay down for bed. We try to settle down and she won't relax against me. She doesn't usually melt into me like most other children do. It makes my heart so full when shes showing signs of trusting me, relaxing, and doing the limp noodle in my lap. Slow down enough to enjoy those moments those of you who are parents.
I looked at pictures of her just two months ago with her round pudgy face. Now she's slimming out and becoming a toddler. She's grown 6 inches in the last 4 months. But she's still my little bit.
Love to all.
