No Way!

This was the scene in our bathroom two weeks ago.

Emilyn is in the tub happily splashing and flailing her arms about. I am running a washcloth around in her mouth (I had heard it was good for baby's gums). Oh, what is that on her gums? It looks like a little spot of spit up or something. I'll try and wipe it off. Um, it's not coming off. Maybe I should lift her lip up and take a closer look.....

"No Way! KYLE!!! Come look at this!"

Kyle enters and I lift her lip again for him to inspect, hoping what I saw is not what I think it is. Yup, it is. A little tiny bit of a tooth starting to show itself. No wonder she has been drooling like a St. Bernard and chewing on her hand as if it was her last meal.

The tooth hasn't come out much farther since then. It is taking it jolly time, which is perfectly fine by me since she is still breastfeeding. Besides the drool and the need for chewing on things Emi doesn't seem bothered by it either. But it is definitely not what I expected and caught me completely off guard.



On a side note, I was not feeling well at all last Sunday (nasty cold). So Emilyn and I stayed home and got some extra snuggle time in, not to mention a nice nap.




Two weekends ago my brother Jeff was in town and so were Kevin and Jen. Wes, Sara, and the kids came up and we had lunch at Mom and Randy's with the fam. Grandma even came out to Mom's. Emi laughed for the first time at her Uncle Jeff, then later at Uncle Kevin and Daddy. She gets completely exhausted just watching her cousins run around. You can tell she can't wait to be able to get down and play with them. Here she is making Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jen make funny faces to try and get her to smile, which isn't too hard.
