Mika's fifth tooth has broken. It's the bottom lateral incisor on the right side.
Mika has been feeling under the weather since about Thursday. By Sunday night, her fever hit 39.1C..almost high enough to warrant a visit to emergency, but not quite. She didn't go to sleep until about 1Am on Monday morning and was up almost every hour. I ended up crashing on her floor for most of the night because she was getting up so often. Mika's fever was more or less gone by yesterday afternoon and today she is nice and cool. Grumpy, but not fevered. She has a cough and sniffles, but they don't seem to be too bad. Mika didn't get to sleep last night until after 9PM. This from a baby who is in bed asleep by 7:30PM 99.9% of the time.
Mika's Nana came over yesterday to watch her as I had to go into work. As always, Mika had a grand time with Nana. Nana brought Mika her first advent calendar and a homemade Santa pull toy. Those wooden ones where you pull a string to make the legs and arms move...very cool!
Seeing as it is so nice out today, Mika and I are going to venture out and over to the mall. I have some prints to pickup from the drugstore and am actually going to check out Sears' portrait studio. We've tried our best to avoid any cheesy baby stuff, such as the Sears portraits, but am now thinking it would be nice to have said cheesy portraits for Christmas. We'll see how expensive they are and whether there are even any time slots to book given what I assume is a busy time of year for the old Sears photo studio. Had we hella cash, I would just book a sitting with Carmen Miller as I have heard nothing but wonderful things about her and her photography. Someday!
