This week we have mainly been.....teething

Poor little Leila is getting her bottom molars through and they are really troubling her L  Her top ones came through without us noticing (!) but her bottom gums have been really swollen for over a week now and she is even moaning and holding her hand to her mouth in the evenings!  We’ve been giving her Calpol as she goes to bed and bongela and teething granules through the day.  We’ve realized though that without a bongela dose when she wakes for her early morning feed (around 5am) she won’t go back to sleep – making it a really long morning for her before her afternoon nap. This morning I did give her bongela and she went back to sleep for another 2.5 hours – enough time for a shower and a quick check of email (actually, make that a ‘slow’ check of email….our dongle is only giving us dial-up speeds at the moment – ggrrrr)

Leila is also doing lots and lots of copying at the moment. She is copying sounds as we speak and actions too.  We had great fun the other evening when she was doing the dance for Looby Loo and Hockey Cokey with Daddy and then doing Round and Round the Garden on our palms.
