Solids, Baths, and Teething

This week has been crazy - Liv woke up Tuesday with 100.6 and no other symptoms really. Took her to the doctor and they said it was just a virus and I needed to wait it out, all day she slept in my arms, if I wasn't holding her she was screaming. Wednesday she woke with no fever and happy as can be and didn't nap all day but by Wednesday night she was a terror so I laid her in our bed and laid with her until she fell asleep then moved her to her bed but was back in our bed at 330 after a failed hour of trying to to get her back to sleep. Thursday she was a bit of a terror and had the exact same problem that night, and same story Friday. Then Saturday (thanks to Todd and Mom) I realized my poor child is teething and her gums are super swollen. Last night we had a lot easier time getting her to sleep - back to the old routine - lay her in her crib and is asleep on her own! Sadly she is still fussy today - but was very well behaved and happy at lunch at Black Eyed Pea and at the park. We tried to have her swing her for the first time - she totally did not enjoy it - but she loved feeding the geese. Here are some pictures from this week including her dumping out cheetos twice and eating them, eating mashed potatoes, self feeding her self applesauce and eating bubbles in the bathtub.

Background...

I have started blogging twice before, once when I was pregnant, and once right after I had Liv...neither of which were very successful, because face it how fascinating is pregnancy and a new born. But now that I have a mobile 7 month old I have oh so much to tell. So here's hoping I find time to keep this one going. So now that I have filled you in on all that let me tell you about me and my life...
My name is Amanda and my husband is Todd. We met right after my 15th birthday and right before his 17th birthday - dated off and on throughout high school and then became serious in college - we got engaged the May before my 19th birthday (my birthday is August 2) and got married two weeks before my 20th birthday on July 18, 2009. Then 3 month later I was pregnant and gave birth to our daughter Olivia Laine on July 23, 2010 five days after out 1 year anniversary and ten days before my 21st birthday. Now she is 7 months old and the center of our world. Here is the past few years in pictures.
