We Have Teeth!

Baby J. Playing in her Pajamas

Well, it's officially daddy daughter day, and Baby J. is taking her second nap of the day. I checked her gums only a few minutes ago, and I was surprised to find that not one, but BOTH of her lower lateral incisors came in last night, and her upper right lateral incisor has finally come in a couple of weeks after the left one came in. That means Baby J. now has 8 teeth, only 12 more to go! She has seemed a lot less cranky today, so I think (for at least a day or two) the teething has subsided.

So far today, other than breakfast, a snack, and then lunch, Baby J. and I went on a long walk. It's an oddly warm November day. I had bundled us up in coats, only to get outside and see most people walking around in t-shirts. Needless to say, I was seating profusely before the walk was over. We walked for about an hour. I didn't bother with the stroller, which I kind of regretted later, when my arm felt like it was going to fall off. Baby J. enjoyed looking at all of the people outside, the leaves coming down from the trees, and the cars whizzing by. Even though we went out for the walk shortly after her nap, she became really drowsy before it was finished, snuggling with me for the last 15 minutes.

Now, I only have one question, when do I get my nap?
