We Have Teeth!

Max was super clingy and fussy yesterday, and fell asleep on me several times (unheard of!). This morning as I was feeding her, I noticed an odd scrape of the spoon against her top gums. WE HAVE TEETH! Top teeth, yes, two of them, of course she couldn't do it the 'normal' way. ;-) But there they are. Too bad little missy is still in a lot of pain as they finish breaking through, and her unexplained 103 fever isn't helping. Poor poor baby.

I rarely laugh out loud...

at least to stuff like movies or TV. But ohmygosh, watch this!

We're famous.

And no, this wasn't our wedding planner.

Everyone Likes Ice Cream!

Nuff said.

Rock 'n Roll

Max has officially started the up-on-the-knees-rock. Sort of like a lizard who fears a predator, except cuter. It looks like she'll be crawling before we know it. It seems her timing is impeccable - we move in 16 days! Will she wait until we move, or get going before? Hmmm...

It could have been an uncomfortable conversation

Virtual tour man comes to my house, shortly after the mail came in. Lucky me, my order from Homemade Mama had arrived and I had promptly opened the package and checked out my new items. Fast forward to the virtual tour man watching me clear off the couch to prep for the shot. He eyes the clear bag my items have arrived in.

VT Man: Those are nice, are those swatches? Are you decorating?
Me: No, they aren't swatches.
VT Man: Really, what are they?
Me: Um, do you really want to know?
VT Man: Yes, definitely.
Me: Those are cloth menstrual pads.
VT Man: Oh, so you wash them?
Me: Yes
VT Man: Neat.

When did she get so big?

Comparing Maxine to Tracy's precious little one week old son Oliver, the difference just 9 months can make is really astounding! Max is so big, no longer a helpless infant. Now she tries to crawl, throws fits (it's a fun new development), shows pride when she accomplishes things, and has really turned into a little lady. Where did my tiny newborn go?

Such a big girl.
