I am bleeding

Zuzu bit me. She drew blood. I am fighting off a viral/sinus infection everyone seems to have. I am not sure if it is working. Last night was tough.

Sick and Teeth

Baba has been sick all week. Zuzu just got a fever today. So far I have not got sick but Zuzu's two bottom teeth are doing a number on me. I want to run and hide and I fight back my need to scream, but I have to be strong for her so she can get her liquids. (She won't take a bottle.)

The great escape artist

So she can pull herself to standing. Roll off the bed, move the bumper and stick her head out the crib (I have an old crib), stand up on her stroller, and take her tray off her booster seat.

I just ordered a fence for the front room so she can hopefully be safe in our little apartment. Next I plan to buy her some foam squares for the floor. It will be really useful in Egypt since all the floors are marble or wood.

Moving along...

Zuzu has ate rice and oatmeal cereal. Both made bowel movements thicker. She clearly liked Oatmeal better.
This week she tried Avocados and it is her favorite by far. Also easier to digest then the previous two.

Zuzu is still not crawling but she loves to pull herself up (to a standing position.)

Loosing Sanity

Zuzu has her first tooth. Wasn't too bad when it broke the skin but....
-- nursing hurts all over again
-- now almost two weeks later she has become unbearable

Zuzu can roll both ways, sit on her own, and pull herself up from siting. She can't really crawl nor can she talk, but she clearly has wants and desires. For the most part she doesn't understand me and I don't understand her....so we spend most of our day screaming and crying.
