Show of hands: Who's tired of hearing me say "I think Tess is working on teeth"? Okay okay. Your wish is my command; I'll stop saying it for awhile. Because she popped out two yesterday! Whew. It's about time! So she now has tiny toothy ridges for her two front bottom teeth. Very efficient of her, I think, to do two at once. Starting Wednesday through today have seen her more touchy and grumpy and needy than normal. Luckily she really likes to be outside and luckily we live on a very quiet street where we can walk up and down in the cool evenings to fall asleep. She really has been quite the trooper!
Some of the grumpiness can be attributed to her doctor's visit on Wednesday where she got three shots in a row (nice timing, teeth!). She's healthy and wonderful and right on track developmentally. She's a little teeny, coming in under the 15th percentile for height and weight, but she comes by that naturally with all the petite ladies in the family. And of course her head size is above the 75th percentile. Indeed, we'll have to graduate her to a new hat very soon. The doc was impressed with her sitting capabilities and head control; she said we can start trying out the bike trailer with her. Way to go, Tessa!
