One sleep a day

Erin is down to one sleep a day. Occassionally when she has had a disturbed night she will fit in two but this is not the norm. She still has 3 bottles a day but now and again when she does not sleep through the night (which is not regular either) she will sneak in a night feed. Even though the books say just give them sips of water or their dummy I don't bother as it gives the household a better nights sleep if she has a milk bottle. Life for Erin is a whole lot more relaxed than Owen had it! First children always have to suffer the learning curve of the parents.

Grocery shopping has become a bit of a hit and miss event. Erin and I don't go as often as we used to and definately have to cut down on the time spent there and amount of items we get. Erin prefers to sit in the shopping cart part and tries to eat things around her whether they are covered in plastic or not.

Two more teeth!

Erin has 2 new molars appearing at the same time on her bottom jaw. She appears to be mostly undisturbed by the event and has only had a few unsettled nights. She now has 10 teeth in total. Only 10 more to go. It has been 7 months since her last one. Brushing teeth is still such an issue and she twists and wriggles even though I tell her that they have to be brushed twice a day for the rest of her life.
