Yeah, I don't think all the teething remedies in the world would have helped her last night. She was up for two or three hours and finally crashed in our bed after Phillip left for work around 4:30. Liam came in our room around 7:00 and woke her up, and that meant having to actually get up. It was slow moving in the morning, breakfast was delayed, but luckily, Liam can reach the fruit trays now so he grabbed an apple and after he was halfway done with it, gave it to Annabelle to much on, and then got another for himself. He's so helpful.
She didn't really want to eat much more, which makes me think her mouth may really be hurting. I think what she really wants is just for me to hold her non-stop. I can do that most of the time, but it does start to wear. It's almost like when kids don't feel well they become little energy suckers that suck the life out of you. On top of that, you are usually sleep deprived and when you are not sleeping, you are listening to a baby scream. It's a lot but, when you sit on the floor and don't think you can take anymore, they will crawl over to you and climb in your lap and sit down, look up at you and smile, and it makes it all worth it.
After Phillip got home, we went to the Zilker Botanical Gardens to take some pictures of the kids. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone by doing her 1 year and his 3 years pictures at the same time. It was fun to all be out together as a family. Annabelle enjoyed trying to eat various leaves and twigs, and upon tasting them, offered the to me or Phillip. How sweet of her to share. I'm glad we got a lot of really good pictures. Here are just a few of the really good ones we took.
