The entire fam is just getting over a cold.  Yep, all of us got miserably sick including baby Hailey.  Foruntately I think she also got over it faster than mom and dad though and we’re all starting to feel a lot better.

Baby Hailey is getting up and walking all over the place now.  She went from just taking a few short steps and falling down to full on walking, turning corners…the whole bit.  And she’s doing it often and right in front of us, she was shy before and would only trying walking when she thought we couldn’t see her.  Now she’s a regular pro.

On the flip side, baby Hailey is also starting a phase we all know as the terrible two’s.  She’s getting really whiney lately over nothing it seems.  Though, she does still have a few new teeth coming in, so I’m sure that doesn’t feel to good.  But she is getting really fussy about certain things, like going to bed for instance, she cries louder and longer than she used to.  And riding in the car just yesterday on the way to and from church she really let us have it.  Hope that’s a quick phase!

Hailey has another tooth coming in.  She has five already, this is the sixth and she keeps getting really cranky every time we get another tooth coming in.  We’ve been using teething tablets instead of baby oragel to try to make it easy for her but I’m not sure which one works better.  Any body with kids have more experience in this department?  On top of the tooth medications, we give her a cold teething ring, any other suggestions on how we can keep our daughter from suffering through teething?

She seems to be having trouble sleeping even with either the tablets or oragel.  She normally is out for the night when you put her to bed in the evening, but lately when teething she wakes up crying.  She isn’t napping as much during the day either, today at daycare she didn’t nap at all.  Help!!
