2nd tooth and bottom scooter

Leia's 2nd bottom tooth is now coming through, and she is beginning to scoot around the room on her bottom. I'm guessing she will soon be fully mobile.

This is my Aunt Glenda's and Uncle Gary's new home back here in Texas. We went to visit yesterday in the freezing cold (22!) and had a delicious meal to celebrate Glenda's birthday. Check out the gorgeous frozen fountain...this doesn't happen too often in our neck of the woods. Poor Landon walked outside yesterday and slipped on the icy sidewalk! We are definitely not used to walking on icy ground.

...a work in progress

I now understand why most people decorate and paint a nursery BEFORE the baby arrives! Leia's room is a work in progress. I think I've decided on "pink ice" paint throughout, with black and white accents and ecru (I think it's called) design. The tulle tiara canopy is my personal creation that I am very proud of. :-) It is starting to look like I will be using some pink and black tulle accents around the room also (thanks for the tulle, Ya Ya!). It's been too cold these past few days to paint, and I only have one coat on one wall down, so I'm anxious to get the whole thing painted and get to the fun parts of decorating. I'm enjoying the foof and the bling that comes along with little girl rooms, and I'm hoping the pink will go with all the girly princess themes Leia might want a little later in her life. :-)

First Tooth and First Haircut

Leia popped her first tooth today...on the bottom. I was just chatting with other moms in the nursery this morning who have infants around the same age that have also been teething a LONG time, like Leia, and we were all saying that we hadn't found any teeth yet. And then tonight while I was on the phone with Bob Bob and Glo Glo, I felt that sharp little tooth coming out of her bottom gum. Hooray. 7 months old tomorrow. I think the boys had teeth at 6 months, but I need to verify that!

I have been wanting to cut off her little tail in the back as it was kind of funny looking and had long, random strands coming off of it, so tonight when we were doing haircuts for the boys, I cut it off. I guess that means she has had her first haircut.

Finally, a picture of her gnawing on pizza crust- her favorite so far!
