This was a week for the record books! Not only did the girls start rolling over, but as of yesterday, Susanna is now the proud owner of not one, but TWO teeth! And boy, did she ever work hard for those two little chompers. She’s been in teething mode for months now, so hopefully the poor child gets a break from the drooling and fussiness before she starts on the next tooth (I hope I get a break, too).
Rebecca was determined to share the limelight. Today, I noticed she now has a tooth on the top left, so the girls have five teeth between them. Not quite enough to justify introducing crackers and cookies into their diet, but I’m sure it won’t be long before they’re longing to sink their teeth into something a bit more crunchy than oatmeal and mushy peas.
The girls were in their glory today as we took them to a church meeting this afternoon. They behaved well during the message, and only became fussy afterward when we were chatting and eating with our friends. They must have been taking after their dad today – he never wants to socialize for long either! Of course, it feels like just yesterday when my sister and I would whine and tug on our mom’s arm to drag her away from her friends and toward the car after church. We thought she’d never stop talking! And here I am now, in my mom’s shoes, wishing for just a few more moments with my friends while my two daughters are vociferously protesting. And all I can say is…sorry, Mom!
