More teeth!

I'm not sure if I just missed the two front teeth (#5 and #6) when I was feeling her gums, but they are in! Actually, the are growing faster than the 4th tooth - and now Jessica is getting used to having all of them by grinding her top and bottom teeth (which makes me cringe).

I can't believe she has 6 teeth!

She's also clapping her hands...of course, they don't make any noise when she claps them together but she definitely responds to it when we say "clap your hands!". And she loves to wave at EVERYTHING! Sometimes she evens says "ba-ba" when she waves...maybe a baby form of "bye-bye"?! Maybe not. Nevertheless, it's cute!

As for eating solids, we'll be starting fruits at the end of this week. So far she's enjoying cereal: brown rice, barley & oatmeal and veggies: pureed carrots, squash (which she LOVES), zucchini and soon, peas. Introducing these new foods to Jessica has been a breeze...she definitely enjoys eating! =)

That's it for now...next Sunday, May 13th (also my first Mother's Day!!) is Jessica's baptism. Rod (who is also going to be her Godfather) will be here on Friday for a visit - he hasn't seen her since Christmas! I'm sure you're going to LOVE playing with her bro...she is way too much fun at this age.

Here are a few photos from the past couple weeks. I have to admit, we've been playing with her so much I haven't been focusing on taking pictures...but I need to be more diligent on that one because she's growing way too fast!

I love reading about your experiences as a new mom, Jen! I'm glad you're doing well and enjoying your mat leave. Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning.
