Drool Drool Droooooool


Gaby was never really a drooly baby - a lot less than other babies it seemed. I expected that it would only improve - not get worse... BUT with these 2yo molars starting to make their appearance[s], she seems to have a large puddle of drool surrounding her at all times! Crazy the effects these little toofs can have!


We went to the beach this morning & Gaby had a lot of fun - I'm glad we went so early because it's quite warm out now. She didn't get as wet as she did last time (thank goodness), and she didn't eat any sand (hoorah!) but she certainly enjoyed running around and playing with the sand. She is a bit anxious around the water, but that doesn't really upset me - at least I know she isn't going to go running into the water without me watching! She was quite happy if I was holding her & walking in the water, but no way would she let her little toes enter that water!


We got home & she had a nap at midday - VERY unlike Gaby, when she got up she was shaking like a leaf & had a temperature of 38.7... We had a bit of a cuddle and I gave her some pamol and ibuprofen (pamol for the temp, ibuprofen for the pain), and the temp started going down a little (to 38.5) & she's now in bed again, so hopefully when she wakes up she'll be quite a bit cooler. Scary when she burns up like that! She doesn't appear to be sick, so I am pretty sure the fever is related to teething - especially taking into consideration all the drool and the bright red cheeks!

Hey girl, I haven't seen you on the board all day! I posted about that movie you told me to watch. Again, those pics are gorgeous. She's an angel. Teething can be rough - I'm sorry she got a fever, I hope she's feeling better!
