At long last, folks, we’ve got teeth! Two in fact, smack dab in the bottom middle. The inside corners of each tooth have broken through to the surface, and the rest of the tooth is just under the gums (detectable by white patches). That explains why Flora was so crabby yesterday and needed to go to bed at 6:30PM! Unfortunately, any requests to show us her teeth result in her sticking out her tongue, so we’ll have to wait until the teeth are a little more evident to get a good picture.
Seems like every day Flora learns a new “trick.” Aside from identifying various objects and body parts (her latest discovery are her knees), she makes several ASL signs (her own sign for stinky is waiving her hand in front of her nose), and says a handful of words (her newest one being cracker (“crah crah”)). Sound clip to come.
Flora’s favorite games are to put objects in a container and cover them with a lid … then take them back out and start all over again. And to play chase around the coffee table, where she says “Ahh Boo!” when you surprise her head on. Still fascinated by the cat, she makes kissy sounds with her mouth and pats her hand on her lap or floor to call Sepia over, but Sepia’s way too smart to fall into that trap!
Teeth! Can an crispy apple be far behind?
Then she must have the XMas song-”All I want for Christmas is my 2 front Teeth!!! I read an article the other day that said babies knee caps do not fully develope until they are 2 years old?
