Half a Year Old

     Well the big news is, "We have teeth!"  They've been coming in for the past week or two, and they are, as you might expect, cute as the dickens.  She definitely likes Sophie, her giraffe teething toy (from France, don'cha know), but is quite cavalier about whether she's chewing Sophie's face, her knees, her hoofs, or whatever those little things are on the top of a giraffe's head -- antlers?


     She's also been enjoying any number of other teething options:  frozen teething rings, a vibrating John Deer ear-of-corn shaped toy, her Nuk, or any random thing she can reach and grab, which seems to be her new favorite hobby -- reaching and grabbing, that is.



     We've also been hanging out outside quite a bit as the weather's been getting so unseasonably warm.  Esme likes the 'footrest' on her stroller, as you can see both from our perspective and hers.  She's been helping Dad out in the garden for the past several days, as you'll see more clearly in another post.


Huge thanks to Steve and Mary, who supplied us with not one, but three  kid carriers.  Here you can see Wade & Esme's current favorite.



     Esme will even occasionally use her fingers for teething, or is it just that she's shy about showing off those brand new teeth?  We may never know.
     Up next?  Our six month doctor's visit is Friday afternoon.  So we'll have more to share over the weekend or next week, depending on when we can rip our eyes off her long enough to use the computer.  I mean, really, who could resist this face?
