So here's a closeup!
With all the birthday festivities I forgot to mention a very important milestone that Isabel "reached" on March 12th...just one day before her birthday. A TOOTH. After picking her up from daycare I thought I caught a glimpse of something white. I was able to sneak my finger into her mouth and felt a tooth along the top of her gums. A few days later the "matching" bottom tooth followed, then the other middle bottom tooth and finally this past Wednesday the other upper middle tooth emerged. In 2 weeks she went from no teeth to 4 teeth.
She definitely is exploring her new teeth, and especially likes to make this strange underbite smile. Haven't gotten a picture of that yet. She's also learned that she can now bite...which is helpful for eating and um, not so helpful when it comes to nursing. She is only nursing 2-3 times a day now, and usually its when she is sleepy, so it really hasn't been too bad. She made the switch to cows milk without a problem and loves drinking from her little spout cup. (and I am loving having whole milk in the house, as coffee tastes so much better with whole vs skim). Its so fun (and a bit sad at the same time), to watch her eating and drinking her meals all by herself. Well, at least until she decides to start throwing food overboard, then she gets some help to finish.
We are looking forward to some warmer weather this weekend (even though its supposed to rain) and will be starting our seeds for the vegetable garden.
Happy Spring!
