The Past Week...

Well, we finally got our tree up. I was really unsure what the baby was going to think or do. She was very curious yet cautious at the same time. Now, she sits in front of it, stares at it and then laughs. It is really cute. She will reach up and touch one of the branches, then sit back down, laughing each time. We left the bottom six inches bare, afraid that she would pull every ornament off. As soon as we set-up the tree, Donnie snapped this picture of her. Her hat says "Baby's First Christmas." Again...biased...but she is so adorable!We have had one very cranky baby the past two days. I think (actually I hope) we are finally getting the first tooth. It is about time. She is already 9.5 months with no sign of a tooth. She has to be close to one breaking through the skin. She is SO fussy, cranky, running a slight fever, cries for no reason. Something has to be up. All she wants to do is suck her thumb with her blankie. You give her her blankie and this is what you get....

Notice her little butt is up in the air. She tucks her legs under her stomach. She looks so sad! I hope this passes real soon...I want my happy baby back!
