8 months old!

I can't believe Violet is eight months old today!  That is 3/4 of a year!  That is almost unfathomable to me.  It really seems like she should still be like 12 weeks old or something.  It is going by way too fast!  She is definitely not my little baby anymore.  I wish the days didn't fly by the way they do.  I wish I had more hours in the day to spend with my girl.  She is just changing and growing so much.  I really try to cherish her "babyhood" every day, I know it will be gone soon.  She has been a little fussy at bedtime the last few nights, I have really loved rocking her back to sleep and feeling her little head on my shoulder, and her sweet little hands holding my finger (or hair!), and her steady breathing....

We are pretty sure the recent bedtime fussiness is because she is about to cut a tooth.  No, really this time.  Yesterday I was able to take a peek at her lower gums and there is definitely something about to poke through.  You can just barely see the top of it.  Awww!  Her first tooth!  Honestly, if all we have to deal with is some bedtime fussiness as far as teething goes, it will be a breeze.  Hopefully it doesn't get worse!

I am still sick.  Ugh.  Tuesday afternoon at work I was sitting at my desk just miserable, almost crying in pain my ear hurt SO much.  I left work and came home and hopped into bed immediately.  Woke up and was still in awful pain.  So I took a sick day, called the doctor and went back to bed.  The doctor's office called back and just decided to switch my antibiotics instead of having me come in.  Okay, but I am still in severe pain.  My doctor "doesn't want to give me anything for pain".  Ummm, what?  Time to switch doctors.
