First Tooth Arrives!!

Matilda has her second cold and while her nose is running like a faucet and her chest rattles, she is in good spirits. This little Monkey is happy all the time. As she struggles to breathe, her first tooth is popping through the skin! A very exciting day! I thought it would magically appear one day, growing overnight, but Auntie Yuki set me straight. It takes a long time for it to rise. I just hope the process is easy for her.

Her cousins are still visiting and she is loving every minute of it. Hebe jumps up and down and makes monkey noises for her. Matilda smiles and giggles whenever she does it.

She will be starting sweet potatoes on Sunday, just in time for Thanksgiving! I have cooked up the first batch and they are very sweet indeed. I think she will really like them. She is getting better at eating and most of the cereal is now getting into her mouth and not on her bib. I feed her breakfast and Bart usually takes dinner. It is nice for them to spend that time together since he doesn't see her much during the day.

This weekend is full of activity. We are taking the Frisbys for their first casino buffet. The girls want to play in the snow and we will hopefully make it up to Truckee. There is a wonderful toy shop up there called Dylan's Delights. I love going in there because it reminds me of World of Toys, which I miss dearly. Oh and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow afternoon as Dr. H prepares my tooth for a crown. YUCK!
