Teething

By all apparent signs, we are in the throes of teething. It's tough to watch Sadie struggle with the pain and know that we can't do anything about it except give her frozen washcloths and baby orajel. She's not a fussy baby, so it makes that much more of an impact when she's inconsolable.

She's growing rapidly and is developing more and more each day. She has reached the stage where anything she can get in her hands go into her mouth. It's really cute to watch her try and figure all that out. She's got a doll that she absolutely loves. She talks to her, sucks on her head, and loves holding her whenever she can.

She definitely recognizes Steph and I, and has a preference for Steph at this point, unless I'm singing to her. She seems to really like that.

She also has mastered the art of drinking from a cup. She loves drinking water. Anytime we have a cup and we're drinking while we hold her, she does her best to get her hands around the cup and pull it to her mouth. And she can drink water without spilling any! I might be partial, but that seems pretty advanced for a 3 month old.  

She spent her first night at the farm on Saturday night as I spent all day setting posts for a goat fence. We're going up again this weekend to finish up the job. I hope to have pictures of the efforts from this coming weekend. We will have goats at the farm by Spring, which is exciting. We've always loved goats, and I love that Sadie is going to grow up around these animals and learn the basics of farming and self reliance.
