Teething

So the Boss is working on getting her 2 front teeth together, so that makes me oh so happy. This video is of her gums. I took a video b/c I'm really sure I won't be able to get a pic of those gums ready to erupt teeth

This is the Boss and her great-aunt Nancy. Great-aunt Nancy is one of the reasons my daughter is so short

Important milestones

The Boss turned 1 yr old May 6, 2010. For her birthday, John and I gave her strawberry cake. She didn't like it too much, but since it was sugar, she ate it. Afterwards, as I was trying to put her to bed, I wondered why I thought it was a good idea giving a child a cupcake 30 minutes before her bedtime. Somehow it made more sense before I was chasing a naked, walking baby around her room trying to get a diaper and pjs on her.

For her birthday party.02 (yes, she had 2), we grilled out and had the grandparents over. Grandma Harmon feed the Boss bits of hamburger. John thought he should just skip the middle man and gave her her own. She gave eating it the old college try, but she just really gummed it and licked it. I think John ate it.

Here she is eating her 2nd birthday cake. She doesn't like getting her hands dirty (like me), but she'll sacrifice if it means eating chocolate. She ate so much that both sets of grandparents couldn't believe it. No one believes me when I tell them she's a bottomless pit. Just like no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
