J's Got Teeth!

If J opens her mouth wide, you can just about see the gleaming tops of 2 little teeth poking through her lower gum, right in the middle where her lower lip is.

My baby has teeth!

Today, I gave her a bit of rice, chopped tomato and shredded chicken, which happened to be what Beth and I were having for lunch. She ate it all very quickly and kept opening wide for more.

She's been managing very well without her teeth actually.

I've been clamped upon several times at the end of a feed, or when she stuffs my fingers in her mouth.

I've a sneaking suspicion she knows exactly what she's doing too. Something to do with that sidelong glance and cheeky giggle...

I love how she's been babbling away. Some days, I'm pretty sure she said "Dog!" when asked where Scottie is, or "cheh cheh" when she sees Beth.

CA tells me not to get excited or imagine things, but he can't help getting caught up in the excitement himself. Ha!
