A mid-month Update

So basically in the past week Aspen had hit all kinds of awesome baby milestone's so I wanted to do a little mid-month update. We have been working on lots of little things with her ( I call them tricks) and it didn't seem like she was picking it up until last weekend she decided to do everything. Late last week we caught her standing up at the tub (previously she only got up on to her knees). She still doesn't do it a lot but we know she can. Then she started clapping, putting her arms up for "So Big" when we ask her "How big are you?" and she is waving hi. It was a big weekend for her. Also, I thought I saw something in her gums like a tooth was close but still couldn't feel it and then yesterday after work I felt it. She is finally cutting her first tooth on the bottom! She has definitely been more fussy than normal, but nothing horrible at all. She is still the sweetest little angel baby. Below are a few videos of her new tricks and the first glimpse of her first tooth!

 

 

Munch Mitt Product Review

 

Aspen still has no teeth but I would definitely say she is teething. She has had some feverish evenings where she is needy and unsettled and I swore we would see a tooth pop through, but nope, not yet. She is also drooling a ton and has her hand in her mouth all of the time. We have given her ice cubes in her mesh feeder and a bottle where the nipple is filled with frozen water and those have worked for periods of time but we recently got the opportunity to try a new teething product called a Munch Mitt. It is a little glove that you put on one hand and it has a textured silicone end for them to chew on. This is great for babies like Aspen who like to put their hand in their mouth. She immediately loved it. The glove part is also made out of a material that makes a crinkle noise so it is entertaining while soothing. It is really funny to watch her go to town on that glove but I am glad it makes her happy. It is also machine-washable so that makes life easier, too. It comes with a little bag so we can just throw it in the diaper bag and bring it with us when we are out. We are definitely Munch Mitt fans!
