A pearly white...

Lucy got her first tooth yesterday.

Chris noticed it in the morning because, well because Lucy sort of bit him. They were playing their usual, I Gum Daddy's Finger Whenever I Get the Chance Game, and the stakes were raised. For good. We're thrilled about it although I had to cry a little because it means she's growing up and that kills me. Ugh. And, aside from waking up a little more often during the night a couple nights before the tooth, she weathered it pretty well. She's a tough cookie, turns out. I've included some pictures of our tough cookie for your enjoyment. The first is Lucy and Chris after Lucy's nightly bath. We started a bedtime routine which includes a bath with Mom, and Chris does the second half of the task which includes powder and jammies. The next couple pictures are more from the park on a swing (thank you Mira and Chris for my hoodie. I love it!). Until she can sit up by herself, I think there will be more swing pictures in our future. The last picture is Lucy in her new toy, the Excersaucer. It was a gift from Jenny, Lauren, Michelle, Abby and Carolynn, my college friends. I'm a little concerned that all of the stimulation may singe her brain synapses but she likes it, so we're goin' with it. Enjoy!
