Last Thursday Todd called me at work: "I put Katie down, in a lying position and walked out of the room for a second, when I came back she was sitting up." Oh my! I asked him to get it on video if she did it again, but no such luck. When I got home that night I sat and watched her for a very long time until she did it again. And I got it all on tape! Hope exciting! Crawling now sitting!! She managed to become a pro over the weekend and sits up now like it is no big deal. But it is a big deal when she falls forward and hits her head and can't figure out why she hit her head.

Then started the teething, which seems to have been going on now for a couple of weeks. The last few days have been bad in that she is not sleeping through the night. She wakes up and cries, usually able to fall asleep with her paci. This is wearing on her mother. Last night she was very cranky, feverish, and just wanted to be held. I felt bad for her, not knowing what I could do to help her feel better. We gave her Motrin and put some stuff on her gums but it stiff didn't help much. Then we got out the little freezer ring for her to chew on and BINGO! She loved it!

As soon as we have a photo of her new sharpies I will post it up!
