All I Want for Christmas....

is my two bottom teeth!! Yes, Ella is teething. I never imagined she would start this early. My mother in law mentioned she thought Ella was about to start teething to my dad, the retired dentist/mr. know it all, and he said there was no way! Well, guess what 3 days later you could feel her little teeth. Although it's exciting it has really put a kink in things such as sleepless nights and some fussy days. Poor thing her teeth just hurt. She also got her 4 month vaccines last week and so she decided to wake up every hour at night for the past week. Needless to say, mommy was tired. So, what can a mom do? Thinking this would never end I went back to my Babywise book to refresh my memory and put Ella on a strict schedule. I also started her on rice cereal. Guess what? She slept almost all night last night. She woke up once at 5 and once at 7 in which I gave her her pacifier both times and she went right back to sleep. So momma's happy once again!!
