Return to the Cheese

Lynnie has had a tough go at it for the past few days. Julia is teething and as we wait for her new teeth to drop in, the sweet baby Cheese that we know and love goes away and is replaced with a bag of constantly crying broken glass. Nothing will sooth. Nothing will bring joy. Nothing will make her smile. There is only one emotion and one expression - angry crying. Here's a small photo montage of yesterday:

The Cheese woke up and expressed herself in a song of sorrow. Her poor little mouth ached and all she could do was cry. Sooooo.....

Lynnie put her in the Johnny Jumper - which she loves - but it didn't do much to get her mind off the pain. She just screamed and filled her pants with a lovely poo-cano. It was a mess. So, Lynnie took her to the changing table to clean her up.

She proceeded to scream on the changing table while she got cleaned up and changed her clothes. It looks kind of like she's laughing here, but she's not.


Usually, a nice walk in the stroller makes her very happy. Even when she's teething, she'll sing and talk to us as we walk around campus getting assailed by the cicada bugs. But, that didn't do much for her mood.

Today, she's doing much better. She seems back to her good ol' self, but that little tooth still hasn't broken through. She was playing a little peek-a-boo game with me this morning with the laundry basket. The laundry basket sure get's a lot of milage. It is also her play pen. Here she is sitting on the floor playing with me and seems to be the Cheese again.

Hey there Matt,

It's always exciting to find another seminary family blog. Congrats on the new baby, although she doesn't look like much of a newborn anymore. It is good to finally see her picture.
