Absence makes the heart fonder

Well, not that I grew fonder of my hubby, but I never realise how much I miss him when he's away from me. I didn't miss him that much when I was pregnant, but this feeling of lonliness really hit home this time.

It's just not the same without him in the house.

Teething Issues

If you refer to the chart above (from www.teething-babies.co.uk), my gal has:

for the upper jaw (left and right) - Tooth number 1, 2 and 4. Tooth number 3 is now erupting and is semi through the gums.

for the lower jaw (left and right) - Tooth number 1, 2 and 4. I can't see tooth number 3 yet, but her gums are red.

When her first molars initially came out, I thought she had 4 teeth coming out at the same time! Only did I realise later that the 2 "edges" showing did not belong to 2 teeth, but 1!

Given that her milk teeth is coming out really fast and somewhat earlier than norm, now I am worried about how to keep her teeth healthy! Add that to another mummy's fretting and worries :P

updates

My girl has really taken to walking - now she will take our hands and pull us to where she wants to walk to. She can walk unassisted for quite a distance, although slightly unstable. Good thing, it's a tiring workout, so she sleeps pretty well in the evening.

Her first 4 molars (top and bottom) have sprouted - I've lost count of the number of teeth she has! Her appetite has dropped a little, refusing her usual porridge. So today, I made potato patties for her - a change in food presentation since she wants "adult" food and not baby food all the time. I'll post up the recipe in my other blog in a moment.

I'm just thankful she's quite happy brushing her teeth!

Sometimes I wish I could stay at home and watch her grow. I seem to be missing out on a lot. Been thinking about being a SAHM, but I doubt we can survive on my hubby's pay alone. He doesn't pay all that much for income tax, but he earns a decent living, much better than mine anyway. Been toying the idea of having a sideline to supplement the income, so that if I decide to be SAHM, we have some "fundings" in that sense. However, deep down, I'm a hopeless business person, so I guess I should just drop the idea.

Wonder how my boss will react to if I want to go 1/2 time. *sigh*
