Momentous occasion: Maggie is cutting her first tooth! In fact, it just broke through the gums this morning. Yesterday in the car I noticed a little white spot with some redness around it, and already this morning you can feel that pearly white with your finger. She has been a bit cranky and has had major trouble getting to sleep for naps, but so far it's been better than I expected. I know, now I've done it. The hardest part, actually, is that she's super concentrated on learning to crawl too. She's been practicing in her sleep, which wakes her up multiple times during the night. I think she doesn't have her full capacity of patience to deal with this tooth because she's also just really tired. Here we are on the precipice of a new stage; Maggie's not just a little baby lump any more. She's about to be a moving and eating machine!
She also went "swimming" for the first time this week. It's been so hot that walking the dogs is not so nice. So they can be out in the backyard for a little outdoors time and we can be in the pool. You can see the progression of comprehension in these pictures.
