Guess who just cut her first tooth! That would explain the recent grumpiness. Had a peek this morning and the bottom right gum looked a bit wonky. Stuck my finger in this afternoon and there's a tiny bit of tooth poking through. Are we in for a few days of utter hell while it shifts into position?
worse I've had to give the man so many lectures about salt already. He likes to throw it in the pan when boiling pasta, potatoes, vegetables. I can't see the point, plus I don't like my food salted (except chips). Got stupidly sensitive tastebuds so even really bland stuff suits me just fine.
Leni my urge to give your bloke a right ding round the earhole just got stronger. I appreciate it's not the most convenient thing in the world, but if he's not willing to give you a bit of space when you need it then it sounds like he isn't particularly bothered about your happiness. I'll shut up about it for now, but if you need to talk (or rant) we are all here for you.
vj I have no experience of nappy rash (the only one we've had so far was thrush related and cleared up in no time with clotrimazole). My sympathies for the poor child though, it sounds horrible. We use bepanthen, my sister swears by it.
KF even without having to do any parenting, getting up at 5am is reason enough to have coffee and shortbread. Enjoy it, and enjoy the brief peace!
Today's attempt at crawling involved stretching out the arms and vibrating with sheer force of will. Entertainment value was high, but forwards motion was a bit lacking. Fine by me though, I like the way she stays where I put her. My cousin's son, who's one next month, has just started walking. No more nice quiet sit downs for her!
