It's time to play

We definitely have an outdoor girl on our hands. Claire loves to be outside and thankfully, we have had a break from the hot temps (we are currently in the low to mid-80's during the day) so we can be outside a lot. Claire enjoys being able to roam freely and explore her independence. We go the the nearby parks a lot and spend time playing in the driveway.

Claire is finally starting to get more teeth. So far, she still has only 6 teeth (two on the bottom and four on the top). Yesterday she woke up congested and drooling like crazy. She got fever in the afternoon and when I finally was able to look inside her mouth, I saw one tooth just about to pop through and her gums are swollen on both the bottom and top. The pediatrician did tell us that she most likely will have many teeth come in at once since it has been so long since she has had any come in. Well, I guess we have started! I feel so bad for Claire because you can tell she is not herself. We work hard to get her to smile and laugh and we are doing anything we can to take her mind off of the discomfort of her teeth coming in.
