Brief baby updates
On Saturday (February 2nd) we gave Sophia a taste of her first doctor and mommy approved solid food. 
Tuesday (February 5th), Sophia learned to roll from her back to her side.
Wednesday (February 6th), she began pulling at her ears. I didn’t know what that could mean until a friend of mine suggested that it could be teething. The facilitator at our “living with baby” class confirmed that by saying about pressure building in the ears when their teeth come out and that it’s worse when they lay down. Well, last week it was sort of hard to tell if she would have trouble sleeping since I kept waking her up to go to the hospital. Last night she woke up at midnight to eat, but she didn’t fall back to sleep right away like she usually does at night. This morning she woke up at six am – about an hour and a half before her usual on time schedule. Her ears were red. She had scratches on the side of her face leading into her ears and blood inside her ears. Poor baby. For her morning nap I gave her Baby Orajel. Oh what a beautiful product. Sleep! She slept for two and a half hours. Hint for other parents of teething babies – don’t get the “nighttime” formula. The ingredient list is the same, the product amount is less, and the price is higher – talk about marketing.

All I can say is thank God I missed the monthly diaper post. And tell Kurt to shave. Does he own any T-shirts that don’t advertise motorcycles?
P.S. Nice foosball table.

You didn’t miss it. It’s coming up on the 25th, which is her five-month birthday. I think his only T-shirt that doesn’t advertise motorcycles is his Green Lantern one. Thank you – I got the foosball table for him a couple years ago from Costco – they have a different design now.
