Teeth at last
As usual, this is old news now. A few weeks ago Linna's first wee tooth finally poked through - just one sharp corner. Finally! Toothless until 9 months. Now the second one has also poked through, and the first has both corners so it's not quite as lethal. We're definitely past the days of putting our knuckles in her mouth, though. Jeff did it without thinking last night, and he was sorry.
We've discovered that she definitely knows the word "dog." If you say dog, she'll look right at Teddy. She also knows "nana" for nursing. I was doing the milk sign, and I asked her if she wanted milk. No response. Then I asked if she wanted nana milk, and she crawled over and helped herself. I think she even said it one time when she wanted it. And I think she's now saying "mama" intentionally too.
Oh yes, she's crawling now. She travels everywhere. She loves to crawl into the little flower house (a fabric house that fits over a card table, made by Jeff's aunt Diana in his childhood) and play with her bead toy. The only downside is that now she can get into Ethan's things. That means we have to be super careful to clean up after all his favorite games - like Monopoly. Lots of little chokey pieces in that. And we have to watch her carefully and child-proof as much as we can, because she finds all the coins on the floor immediately. She does put things in her mouth, but it's not as instant as it used to be, so we've been OK so far. Anyway, Ethan doesn't always like it now that she can mess with his stuff, and he keeps saying, "NO, Linna! Don't eat the
She was completely screwed up by the time change. She's just started napping and sleeping well again now, after a week.
Last night I gave her some rice (Ethan and I made Polka-Dot Rice from his Salad People cookbook), and she got sticky all over. I don't think she actually ate much of it, but it kept her entertained.
