So, Daphne was quite the comedian last night. She kept us up late with her performance of "Baby Makes Spit Fly Across the Room". At some point Jack and I must have laughed a little to hard when she "razzed" and now she does it all of the time. She thinks it is hilarious. She sprays us with spit and then laughs and laughs. She was so hyper last night. I don't know what got into her system, but I hope that we don't get a repeat performance tonight. She was so energized that she kept standing up during her bath (while holding on to Jack of course). She was crazed. We finally gave up and took her on a car ride to calm her down. Fortunately this was the first time we have had to use this trick. I don't want to make a habit of it.
In other news, two of Daphne's teeth are coming in. I can see the very tops of her two bottom teeth. Her gums look swollen and very sore. I guess that is why she has wanted to nurse so much this week. It must be very soothing to her damaged gums. I don't know what I am going to do about nursing. While I was pregnant I had decided to nurse until August (that was back when I thought I would get a teaching job instead of staying home). Well, August has passed and I don't want to get up in the morning and fix formula. It is so much easier to just put her in bed next to me until we both fall back to sleep. Once those razor sharp teeth surface, I might just have to quit. I am not looking forward to the weaning process.

I agree with the comfort stuff, you may never again be as close. Try to stick it out as long as you can. As far as biting, one or two swat's on the bum, not hard, just enough to suprise them as much as you were just suprised by the bite, will usually cure. They can nurse just fine without you feeling the teeth, as soon as they know not to bite.. I's kind of automatic to smack anyway when you get that first shock. This is not abuse. just getting thier attention.
