Teething BITES

Kendall is officially teething. Yes, this is early, but it is what it is. We had thought she was teething about a month ago, but thought "no way, it's way too early!". Turns out, it never too early.

Kendall has her two front teeth coming in on the bottom. Saw the nubs for the first time yesterday. It explains all that drool and chewing she has been doing for the last month. As a result of these new teeth, she chews on EVERYTHING. Her favorite is her stuffing her own hands into her mouth as far as they can go. Usually this works better when she shoves in just two fingers, which in turn end up practically down her throat. Choking baby noises are adorable. We have to keep stopping her and pulling those darn hands out of her mouth. Give her a toy, she will chew for a second, then puts a hand back in her mouth. Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Luckily, the teething does not seem to bother her too much, it just makes her slobbery, and in turn, Nate and I are slobbery. The fun part is what she now chooses to play with - anything that she can stuff into her mouth. The Winkle, toys on the jumperoo, the seat of the jumperoo, toys hanging on the play mat, Violet, Sophie, frozen washcloths, burp cloths, blankets, the edge of the computer desk, and my personal favorite, my hands.

These pictures were from Sunday, before we figured out there were actually teeth present. There I am, sitting there, minding my own business, and BAM I have a baby aggressively chewing on my hand. She was quite happy about it, I was frightened by the faces.

P.S. An update on Kendall's new features. She now rolls in both directions from her tummy. Nate and I were very impressed. It is actually hard to keep her on her tummy now, she will just roll herself back over. When on her tummy, she kind of "swims" with her arms and legs, then gets mad and starts screaming at us. Ah Kendall, if you only knew you could crawl, but then again, she prefers to stand. (I beter start baby proofing!!!)
