1/24/06 - Big Girl With The Toothy Grin

Eva finally got her first tooth! It finally popped through her lower gums today, after months of teething woes. And the second one, right beside it, isn't far behind. Eva isn't discriminatory about what she chews for comfort. The other day she grabbed my jeans when I was standing next to her and tried to bite my leg. The little piranha! Eva is getting to be such a big girl! She still has those deliciously chubby cheeks. Her hair is getting really long on top. It's shorter on the sides where it rubbed off when she was little, but it's already grown back enough to cover her ears. On the top, where it never fell out, it's several inches long now. I put a little barrette in to keep it out of her eyes. One more thing to try and keep out of her mouth.

Eva loves to pull on her hair when she's nursing and sleeping. She tries to run her fingers through it and tangles it up. Then when she wakes, she has a crazy case of bed head. I have to spray detangler in her hair to comb out her matted mop. Her hair isn't the only thing that's growing. She's already getting too tall for 12-month baby clothes, but 18-month clothes tend to be too long and skinny for her chubby legs. They just don't design clothes for 7-month olds her size! On another good note, her doctor says that her eyes have dramatically improved since wearing her glasses, and she just might be able to avoid surgery. They’ll know more at her check-up in another months, so keep praying!
