+ Teeth and Feet +
Well, you got another tooth on Friday and another one yesterday (Sunday). Go, Ceili! Your second tooth was the one to match your bottom right one. Like two weeks ago on Friday, you went to school without it, and came home with it! I was beginning to think every second Friday would bring a new tooth. But then yesterday came. You decided to pop out with your top left lateral incisor (i.e. NOT the middle one, the one next to it). Hmmm. This is not the "typical" order teeth arrive. On the other hand, that's the one I swore would come through four months ago because it felt like it was right there. The other one seems like it might be coming in, too, so hopefully your central incisors will pop through soon to keep them company. You have three teeth now, none of which match up - that'll make chewing tricky. So far, you have done nothing more than just barely grazing me when nursing. Please keep it that way.

Feet - We bought your first real pair of shoes yesterday. They're white leather first baby shoes with firm, flexible soles. They're really very cute, and you already like smacking your feet against the car seat and making noise. I think Grandma has this idea that you NEED them right now, but I don't agree with her. I don't think you'll be wearing them every day, just when you need shoes (i.e. if we go to the park and you're practicing your walking).

On that note, you took your first trip to the park yesterday! You were in heaven. We went down the slide 4 or 5 times, and you weren't quite sure what to make of that. You also went in the swing for a long time and seemed to really enjoy it. You held on to the handles on the infant swing perfectly, so I guess you really are old enough for it. When another little girl (22 mos.) came by, your doggie growled to protect you. Not charming for the little girl, but I was proud that Princess has grown so attached to you.

HALLOWEEN! You were a lovely purple monkey. Friday you happened to be VERY sleepy, which didn't help things, but you looked adorable. I took you around to our immediate neighbors, who all oooooh'ed and aaaaah'ed over you. And then we went to Uncle Chris and Mason's house for a little party. You played with everyone for a little bit, and happily went to sleep around 8. Big party girl! :) (I put Halloween pictures in her album, so again, if you don't have acess and want it, say the word!) The pictures I got aren't the best, so I might try to pose some soon and take good ones. We'll see.
