AS EACH MONTH COMES AND GOES, i’m have a harder time recording every milestone, not because i’ve lost interest, i just don’t have the time to sit down to write much anymore. i’m now chasing after a baby who is into EVERYTHING. earlier in the year while she was still in need of a tight swaddle and nursing every other hour, this point in wren’s development {having teeth, laughing hysterically, screaming ‘DADAAAA’ for Tommy, dancing, crawling} seemed like centuries away.
baby girl is getting big – her tummy is big, her legs are big, her personality is huge {strangers are no danger, she sees them as an opportunity to smile and point her little finger at them}. if a movie was made about her, the narrator would open the trailer with: “those thighs…that sass…” as her squishy baby thighs are pulled across the floor while her arms do all the work.
and the adorable little bunny teeth finally came in. no pictures yet because she won’t open her mouth wide enough or long enough to grab a shot. little booger! the two weeks of teething was exhausting. up throughout the night, the drool, face rash, hourly diaper changes…oh, did that feel like the early days all over again. and one afternoon BEHOLD two shiny teeth. then she proceeded to bite my finger, cutting the skin. and that’s when nursing became terrifying. not so much now…she knows better than to bite. good girl!
finally, a video just for gamma {or anyone else who might care}…a display of her upper body strength:

gamma loves it all, the upper body building (i can see her mama encouraging her to perform for the camera). and the chunky thighs...can we say "flash dance" leg warmers. where's the pony tail and side tied shirt? i'm missing so much...thanks for all the updates krist, it keeps me in the loop.

Oh, that last picture makes me want to procreate post haste. Man, the inventor of baby legs is so smart!
