Early Bird Catches the Worm

So I am aware that the saying 'the early bird catches the worm' has to do with early risers and that they have the best chance of success but I am changing it's meaning for this post.

We were playing at our courtyard (I don't think I've mentioned how heavenly student housing is here...not necessarily the spaciousness of our apartment but all that surrounds it! pictures to come) and I was letting Shelley chew on my fingers. She has been really slobbery and I just thought she was slobbery, even when people asked me if she was teething. "Oh, no no!" I would say, "Jorgen was super slobbery too and didn't get teeth until he was seven months; I'm sure she's just like that." Well, I was wrong and they were right! Her lower centrals came in and are both poking through! How did I miss this;)? Poor girl, first tons of gassiness, then surgery, then patching, then contacts, and teething! So much for a little tyke to handle! Well, she handles everything...even her loving older brother who loves her a little too much sometimes.

So Jorgen couldn't chew on a lot because his teeth didn't come in fast but I think my little early bird (early in my books but probably not as early as some) will be catching lots of worms, or the baby food version thereof!

See if you can see the teeth underneath all of that slobber!

I think its a GREAT thing that you didn't even notice!! Especially while B.F. I noticed right away with Zander because he got all moody and cried which is very abnormal for him so its a great thing i think when you dont notice any changes besides the slobbering! She is adorable!

I think Darla is getting close as well - she's been slightly off this week more slobbery so I am thinking we are headed toward some teeth. She is darling and Jorg is hilarious. Erik loved that post about the cowboy. I miss couples dating you. :)

At first I was worried that you were going to say she was chewing on a worm and you didn't notice!! Really...OK so I have some strange thoughts. She is so darling and those big, brown beautiful eyes are gorgeous!
