Daily Photos: Day 86

Izzie's first tooth finally cut through her bottom gums this morning. I'm not sure if it's related to teething or not, but she's at the stage where if she is sitting and sees something she wants she just lunges after it and tries to put it in her mouth. Sometimes she'll grab with her hands (she managed to get two good handfulls of Ben's hair this afternoon) and other times she'll just throw herself at the object with her mouth open. (Why bother with that in between step of using your hands?) Here she is going after Daddy's hand... And the table doesn't look bad either!
We bought her some over-priced "puffs" at the grocery store (fortified with B vitamins and calcium) that we thought she might have fun eating, but she didn't seem too thrilled with actual food. Ben, however, thought they were great!

Whatever toy he has, Ben "builds" with it... and usually everything he builds is a train, plane or helicopter. Tonight he used his crayons to form the letter Q on our carpet. Then he methodically put the crayons at right angles to each other and told us it was a train. After Colin taught him the word zigzag Ben spent at least half an hour making zigzags in one direction across the floor, then picking the crayons off one end, adding them to the other and going back the other way. Who knew crayons could be so much fun without any paper?

We tried the puffs too and found the same thing, they're mostly air, and Annika liked them more than the baby did.

Love the "mouth" pics. Izzy has such a sweet little mouth.
