MORE Teeth!

It turns out Fiona got three new teeth, not two. I was able to feel her upper gums Friday and found another one on the right side of her mouth. There is a bulge on the upper left gum, so I am sure she will get one more soon. Three teeth in one week explain why she has been acting so funny lately. Now she has a stuffy nose. We used the NoseFrida on her several times today and yesterday. I got a good look in her mouth and the teeth are definitely molars. Tiny little Fi sized molars.

She discovered the Tupperware drawer:

John spent some time today putting latches on some of the drawers and cabinets. The ones she can access have baby safe items that we don’t mind if she plays with them. The “locked” ones have things we don’t want her to play with right now. She is so fast now that it is impossible to keep her out of everything.

Thursday we went to the farmer’s market that is down the street. One of my former students works at his grandfather’s stand, so we like to stop and say hello, and buy strawberries that taste like candy. This week he was assisted by another former student of mine:

She ate so many that she wasn’t hungry for dinner :(

We received Fiona’s new car seat on Friday. She immediately started climbing all over it:

She wasn’t that happy about being strapped into it:

 

She hands us books and likes it when we read to her. On Saturday, John told her to bring him and book and she did! Later, she gave him the National Geographic and they had fun looking at it:

She had a hard time falling asleep for her nap on Saturday, so she wound up in bed with us. I cuddled her and fell asleep too:

Saturday afternoon we took a long drive down Highway 1 and saw a pod of dolphins. They were very close to shore. One dolphin was a lot smaller and was jumping and showing its tail. I love living close to the ocean!

Today we took a walk to the coffee shop. When we returned, I experimented with putting Fiona in the Ergo on my back. She liked it A LOT! She smiled and made little singing noises while I walked around and made silly noises:

By the way, those pants were not shorts a week ago.

On our walk, she wore a hat. The whole time, both directions, and did not try to take it off until we were indoors.

Fiona’s new car seat is installed in my car and we purchased a sun shade for her as well.

I am anxious about going back to work in two weeks. I’ll probably write more about that as the time gets closer.
