teeth

During a recent tickle fest, I had Lovely pinned upside down and during her adorable, can't-breathe-I'm-laughing-so-hard giggling, I noticed a glimmer of white teeth across the top of her mouth.  Upon closer inspection, I realized that my little "two-tooths" as I have called her for several weeks now, actually has six teeth!  Her top four teeth have managed to sneak in without me noticing (which explains her recent fussiness).  The two of her left are all the way through.  Her right eye-tooth is edging its way in and her right front is still working, peeking just under the gum surface.

She refuses a sippy but loves straws and is learning to drink from a regular cup.  She's walking about a third of the time now and loves to climb.  Ladybug was/is my mountain goat as she can scale and height but Lovely is my spelunker and loves to crawl into and under things, creating her own tunnels and hiding places that I struggle to reach.  She's super ticklish, especially on her belly, thighs and feet (today she put my hands on her feet asking "tickle tickle").  She sleeps 12 hours solid at night (minus the recent fussiness) and is the most patient, sweet, well behaved baby I've ever seen.  Hopefully that continues.  Her unruly hair curls tightly in back and is wispy straight in the front.  She has the most fantastic baby smile with a grin that lights up her whole face and shines into her brilliant blue eyes (but she's very hard to photograph as her eyes are closed in nearly every picture taken with a flash, perhaps light sensitive?)  Her favorite toys (besides removing and scattering every toy from the play kitchen or baby center) are her fisher price princesses.  She will meticulously take them out of their bag one at a time and line them up next to me, saying "thank you" as she places each one.  She also LOVES the building blocks, especially when her sisters will help her build and destroy tall towers (with delighted glee).  By this age, her sisters were already devoted "daddy's girl"s, but Lovely retains her affection for me.  She goes to Daddy eagerly but given the choice, she usually picks me for her cuddle partner.  (please keep doing this, it would be too sad if all of you turned on me.)
