More Teeth... Really?

So as a new parent I just have to say, what's up with the teeth!?!?


I endured a few weeks of fussy, inconsolable baby about a month ago when MiniM.E. got her first teeth.  Then, thankfully, it was over, and my lovable baby was back.

Now it's happening AGAIN!  Really??? And she has to get HOW MANY more teeth???  I don't know if I can handle it...

We're on day 3 of absolutely terribly unhappy baby.

I feel terrible because she feels terrible.  I also feel like tearing my hair out.  Would it be bad parenting to just go in there with some sandpaper to help it along?

Our days have been filled with tears, screaming and fits of all-out-yelling.

Last night, she was up every hour.  And took what seemed like hours to go back to sleep every time.  So I'm assuming I got negative hours of sleep last night.

The only time MiniM.E. is happy is at the grocery store or in the tub.  Example as follows:

Teeth!

This past week I had a very cranky baby on my hands.  BUT, congratulations to my baby- she has her first tooth (with another just waiting to poke through)!!

I've been doing my best to keep her occupied during the day, by dancing, singing and acting absolutely ridiculous, but unfortunately, we've had a few nights of very little sleep:

see, even the baby is tired... and she's NEVER tired...

while we wait for the second tooth to finally push through.  Its RIGHT THERE.  I can SEE it.  But its still under the gums and seems to just be hanging out enjoying torturing Stretchy and me.

Today was gorgeous, so thankfully we were able to keep Stretchy occupied outside while we put up a new fence.  She looked pretty cute today.  Here's evidence:

Being the foreman

Not too happy with our progress

Definitely not happy with the hat...

Stop everything.  Where are the cats?

Really?  You want to put that THERE?

See, I wanted to PLAY with the hat!
