This morning, Gianna wanted to try and feed herself. Her fingers were all in her food, so I decided to just give her the spoon. Here she is...self-feeding Gigi. 
Boy! What a day it has been! Thank goodness Papa came to Wahiawa. He gave me the TLC I needed. In the morning, after breakfast, I found out that yoga was cancelled due to Good Friday. I should have checked the night before, but I didn't. Anyway, we didn't go to Stroller Strides, because we had planned on going to Mom & Baby Yoga in Waialua. That was just the beginning of one of the roughest days I've had with Gianna so far.
She was unusally cranky and grumpy all day! She cried so much today. Now I realize how some mothers can feel overwhelmed with a baby. It is nerve-racking to hear a baby cry so much. The worst thing was that I couldn't soothe her. I'd carry her, sing to her, tickle her, etc., but she was just an unhappy camper!
Finally, around noon, I gaver her some Tylenol. Then she took a nap shortly afterwards. Although I can't really tell, I think she has some teething pains. She keeps shoving things in her mouth. The worst thing was when I used my finger to feel her gums. She bit down on my finger...hard! I screamed, and then she wailed. I think I scared her. It REALLY hurt!
Anyway, I took her on a stroll around the neighborhood, and I even gave her an early bath. It wasn't until Papa's arrival that Gigi perked up. He played with her, and he carried her. He also gave her more Tylenol around midnight when she woke up from her sleep. After that, she slept "like a baby" till 7 AM.
