14 Weeks New!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{August 28, 2014}

14 weeks already?!?!  How did that happen so fast???

Emily is teething, big time.  She shoves her hands into her mouth every chance she gets, and while it's adorable to watch, I feel bad that she's so uncomfortable.  We have a bunch of teething rings and toys for her, but she prefers her little fists and fingers, or sometimes chewing on a wet washcloth or her burp cloth.  Her reflux is also acting up this week, which I think is exacerbated by the additional saliva from her teething.  Needless to say, she has been a bit more fussy than usual, poor baby.  She's also had some trouble sleeping during her daytime naps.... though she seemed to be doing fine here:

Sigh . . . my heart just melts at the sight of her.

She has gotten even more vocal this past week, which is adorable to hear.  Here's a little video of my baby girl; aptly entitled "Emily's yellaugh" because it's hard to tell if she's laughing or yelling!  ;)

We took a short ride in the car over the weekend to the store to try to get her a little more used to her car seat.  While she didn't scream to the point where she stopped breathing {which she has on two prior occasions}, she was NOT happy about being in that car.  And we only drove about 2 miles!  :(

In Mommy news, I finally got my hair cut for the first time since the end of March.  That haircut was looooong overdue -- I feel 5 pounds lighter!
