cranky

When we got home from the sitters yesterday afternoon I noticed Lydie was exceptionally cranky. Usually she's ready to eat her supper as soon as we walk in the door (usually 5 or before), so I was ready with her food right away to forgo any meltdowns. She ate almost everything & was still not acting right. When I got her out of her chair, I noticed her little body felt kinda warm, so I checked her head & yep, fever. Darn it. I was assuming it was her teeth, since her gums are seriously bumpy. I gave her tylenol & hoped that would make her happy, since we were going out with family for supper & to catch up with my aunt Rita, who is visiting from, Tennessee. She was great at supper, & in typical Lydie fashion, made sure she ate another supper while she was there!

This morning she woke up pink-cheeked, so I knew the fever was back. She's not a fan of letting anyone look in her mouth, but I got my finger in there just long enough to feel two pointy bumps on her bottom gum where, what I call her eye teeth should be. These always seemed to be the worst for the boys, too. Unfortunately, Lydia's teeth are slooowww coming in, but hopefully she won't have to endure the pain & fevers for too long! Poor little sweetie.
