growing baby

Acacia has grown in her first two bottom teeth, and it hasn't been easy. The past three nights she has woken up every hour screaming. Not even crying, just screaming and grinding her gums, regardless of ibprofin and tylenol. I feel bad because her voice is very raspy and hoarse but it is so cute!
Anyway she has also started crawling! She really getting around now, I can't even leave her alone for a minute. She is such a curious little girl and gets into everything. But I can't help but love this stage even though it is going to give me premature gray hairs :)
And lastly we have introduced solids. She never seemed satisfied after I nursed her and again she was waking up every hour wanting to nurse so we decided to give it a try. I honestly didn't think she would take it but she did. She eats about half a jar each time I feed her, and she laughs and smiles the whole time. We started off with sweet potatoes so that's all she's had so far. I though it was interesting that it doesn't seem to effect her appetite for nursing. She still nurses about every hour and a half which is good. She just seems to be more satisfied now. And she doesn't wake up at night to nurse again.
