The First Tooth!

So, it cut through, there was a faint red line on Mealie's gums on May 29th and then by June 3rd it was visable, little white crown of her first tooth. It's official, Mommy is going to miss that goofy toothless grin of the little BugCreatures. Due to the crankiness, temper, inability to sleep, chewing and drooling it's safe to say she's working on that next one. In no time Amélia will have a mouth full of pearly whites!
Finally got a highchair last weekend. Although Aunt Leanne & Uncle Russ donated theirs it is at Grandma Sweeney's farm for when the family is out there. Bought a used highchair from the consignment store here in Camrose, and after a good wash it looks new! The chair is in great shape & at $40 was a bargain! Without the tray it is low enough to be pushed up to the table and used with the kitchen table. Amélia likes sitting at the table during mealtime, she feels like a big girl. She's so proud with the smug look on her face as she sits next to Mommy.
Lula (the puppy) and Amélia are doing better together now. Lula comes to see Mealie and sniffs her, Amélia pushes her away when she's had enough & Lula's off to sniff at something else. Lu's getting big, they grow fast, I guess all babies do.
Amélia is moving along with food really well. She has cereal in the morning, veggies/protein at night and during the day snacks on Mummums (cookies), Cheerios, or fruit. She is still nursing well but she loves trying foods. Her latest "new" food was cottage cheese & yogurt. She gobbled up almost 1/2 cup of the goo... she really enjoys the textures. The babyfood that is in the house (pureed) is too runny for her, when she gets some in her mouth she just swallows it, doesn't even run it around. She has also really taken a liking to fingerfoods like (peeled & quartered) grapes, cut up banana and cooked green peas. She looks so pleased when she feeds herself. At Burger Baron last weekend she got to have a frenchfry and was very intregued with it. There was more on her face, shirt & the table than in her mouth/tummy... but it was cute to watch!
Mommy's already planning Amélia's birthday party... only 3 1/2 more months until Mealie is 1... soooo scary!
