The Precious

We were visiting my parents this week, and Elliot desperately wanted my mom's mug. Unfortunately, the mug was filled with hot tea, and was breakable, so this was a no-go and I needed an alternative source of entertainment for my child. Since my mom keeps everything, especially items from my childhood, I was fairly certain it would be easy to find what I was looking for in her kitchen.

It went home with us that afternoon, and look:
It makes her the happiest girl in the whole world!

Adventures

Hello everyone! It's been a while! E has been busy lately having exciting adventures. In the past few weeks she:

Helped me pack up her newborn clothes ::sob::

Began working on her taxes

Discovered the joy of toilet paper

And mere moments later, the joy of wrapping paper

Met a really scary fish at Eli's house

Snuggled with her Daddy

Ate a taco

Started drinking

Discovered what is sure to be a life-long fear of horses

Borrowed Mommy's Iron Maiden shirt

And tasted the kitchen doorway

She also got her first two teeth! The bottom left tooth came in on Friday, and the top right popped through on Monday. The other top tooth looks like it will make an appearance any day now. Teething was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. She was a little fussy, but mostly she just wanted to sit on our laps and snuggle, which was delightful!
