Sarah's First Thanksgiving

So thanksgiving has now passed and I would have to say that it was an ok one for us, but to Sarah it was the best given it was her very first. We actually went to a friends house in our building for Thanksgiving. We brought her play gym with us and she had a blast playing on it. Crawling to Shelly's christmas tree, and watching the other kids and adults moving about. She was also very vocal.
This surprised me since she is normally quiet when we go to a friends house. She had her sweet potatoes for her thanksgiving treat and we stayed for a while afterwards playing games. One of the games that I played with the other women was a card game called spoons. It was actually a lot of fun and people would get brutal when it came to grabbing a spoon. I know I scratched a few people when grabbing one.
But of course I always said that I was sorry and that the next time we played the game, I would have my nails cut. Sarah has been very fussy the past 2 weeks. She hats being on her tummy and when she crawls, she will be crying as well. She always wants to be held and even then she will sometimes crawl. She's also been running a little warm and she doesn't sleep the eight hours like she used to.
I don't know if it's because she has been teething or if she is getting an earache because she will rub the side of her head, but it's really taking it's toll on Ryan and I and I hate seeing her in pain. Also today we have been battling diaper rash (just today) and some other kind of rash for a while. We have two different type of medicine for the two different rashes, but everytime it looks like it's going away, it comes back full force. I change her diaper as soon as she pees or poops so I don't know what the doctor is saying when she tells us that the other rash is because she's laying in moisture all the time because she doesn't.
Maybe she just has really sensitive skin or something, but I know it's not the diapers because she would have gotten the rash when she was smaller. I've only used Pampers because I didn't care for Huggies. She has her 6 month baby well check up on the 9th so hopefully things get better otherwise I will have to take her out to the economy to be seen and make sure I have a patient liason with me that can help translate. My poor baby girl!
