Monday already!?!

I think Annika might be working on some more teeth. She's been drooling a whole bunch again. And her cheeks are mighty rosy. And last week, Monday, she was up almost every hour trying to chew on my fingers. And she's been congested ever since she cut her first teeth but it's been worse the past week. The congestion as of late may be a cold and not related to teeth though. I've had a cold since Monday of last week but am on the upswing now. Last night Annika was up fairly often and when she would try to nurse, she would have a hard time because she couldn't breathe very well through her nose.

The green beans Annika had on Thursday weren't such a big hit. When I tried to give her some on Friday, she cried. That was the end of green beans, at least for now. Yesterday we tried peaches. Peaches, apparently, are okay. Annika's not excited by peaches, but she'll at least eat some. Annika doesn't seem too thrilled about any solid foods in general. She was never a big fan of cereal, hated green beans and is on the fence with peaches. At least she's still growing, but I wonder if this is a sign of things to come? Am I going to have the world's pickiest eater? I imagine dark days ahead if that's the case.

Annika received a gift on Saturday. Auntie Krystle came over to babysit during the day so Kris and I could work on the townhome. All the rooms/closets are cleaned out. Now, we're going to work on touching up some paint here and painting some rooms there. The house should be ready for the market by April 1st. Anyway, that evening, Granpda Dan, Marcia and Pierce came over and we played Domino's after Annika went to sleep. Grandpa Dan and Marcia brought Annika a new walker! Now Annika can travel around the main level getting in all sorts of trouble! She's going to love it, especially since our main level has all hard floors. She'll be able to run around with no problems. Also, we don't have stairs to worry about down there.

Tonight, we have our pre-construction meeting for the new house. Annika's going to cruise the mall with Grandma Pat while Kris and I are at the meeting. Should be fun for all! :)

The StarTribune newspaper ran a story today about baby blogs. (link here) I publish this blog so family and friends near and far can keep up with Annika. I also keep it as a record for me. I can go back to any month of her life and see what she was doing. If anyone else reads, cool. If not, whatever. I haven't read any of the blogs mentioned in the article except Heather at Dooce.com. I absolutely love her, she's hysterical. I've pointed Kris to her blog several times to read what she's wrote and he never has. Oh well. If anyone else wants to check her out, I recommend it! :)
