Teething Tara

Tara has been drooling and munching on her hand for over two months now. When Dear Blog, will a tooth erupt? Every night I ask her if she will show me a tooth in the morning and every morning she wakes up as gummy as ever.

Although her little gummy smile makes my heart melt every single time she grins at me. Don't get me wrong I cherish her gummy perfection but I feel sorry for the little munchkin 'cuz she's obviously in pain. She shoves her entire fist into her mouth and drools down her hand and down her arm.

When she first started drooling she developed a redness all over her cheeks. I realized it was from rubbing her face in the wet spot from her drool. These days, when I put her down to sleep I have to keep moving her around the bed until she's asleep so she's not sleeping in a wet spot. My efforts reward me with the cutest little baby!

She's now giggling at every opportunity and there's such sparkle of intelligence in her eyes it's as if she already knows what makes the world tick!

We took her to East Side Mario's last night for dinner with my cousins and their kids. They all absolutely adore and she adores them. Her face lit up when they were talking to her. She cooed and gg-gged at them. It's the best I can describe the sound she makes these days.
