Party of Five

Let's just say Maggie hasn't been in the best mood lately. We couldn't figure out what was going on and why she was feeling grumpy and sensitive about every little thing. This afternoon the mystery was solved. Maggie rarely lets me feel her gums but today I was able to sneak in. When I did I instantly noticed something hard, in fact three hard things: new teeth. Ouch! Poor little thing. If I'd known about it I would have given her cold teethers and some teething tablets to help ease her pain. Ooops.  Let's hope that once these teeth fully pop through she'll be back to her old agreeable self.

We had a busy weekend with a Kentucky Derby party and a BBQ on Saturday and then a park birthday party for our little three year old neighbor today.

Here is how Maggie has felt lately:

And here is what we found, after a bit of tickling, this afternoon:

And here is how Maggie decided to pay back Chad after all that tickling and tooth feeling:

Houston, We Have a Tooth

Maggie's first tooth finally decided to make an appearance. Yesterday I thought I felt a little something in the morning but wasn't completely sure. After Chad came home from work he confirmed that yes, there was a LITTLE something and it probably was a tooth. We braced ourselves for a terrible night last night but it turned out fine. Maggie slept from 9pm to 7am and wasn't fussy a bit. Hmmm...maybe it wasn't a tooth after all. Then this morning after her breakfast I poked and jabbed her mouth again and that LITTLE something got a LITTLE bigger. And sharp! Let's hope tonight is just like last night. She's one tough cookie.








Below are a few photos of our morning together: Maggie smirking because she has a secret tooth; wait a minute--are her eyelashes growing too?; can't hide all that drool; and finally, what tooth? I just want to laugh and play!







Excuse the various qualities of photos. I was playing around with my camera settings, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. Obviously I got plenty of shots that didn't work, but I included them here anyway.
