Teeth?

For a time now, we've been watching Evvie's obsession with sucking migrate to an obsession with chewing. She's 5 1/2 months old, and we're watching for the emergence of her bottom teeth. Perhaps they will come soon, or perhaps we will be waiting for a while. I'm looking forward to a few teeth, while lamenting the loss of her gummy grin.

Change is difficult.

Coincidence of spring cold? She's had a bit of a runny nose for a four or five days now. She's not as cranky as she was on the first few days of the cold, and we're trying to determine if the runny nose is related to teething. Old wives tales and mothers say definitely, doctors say there's no evidence.

This whole parenting this is just a constant flight by the seat of our pants.

18 years from now, our pants will be pretty worn out.
