A tooth?!?!?

Image
By Cameron
About 2 weeks ago (I feel like a LOT started happening 2 weeks ago), we noticed a small white spot on Isis' gum right in the middle on the bottom. I didn't really think anything of it because she was only 10 weeks old. Well, about a week ago, she started sticking her hands in her mouth all the time - not just when she was tired or bored or hungry. She also started drooling a lot about this time - like a lot! She didn't used to drool much, if at all. But in the last week it's like someone turned on a faucet in there!! I also noticed within the last couple of days that it seemed more like she was biting her hands rather than sucking on them. Lewis put his finger in her mouth and she started biting it really hard. She used to suck on your finger if you put it in her mouth. So we looked at the spot on her gums again - and it was about 3 times as big as it was 2 weeks ago!! And it sure does look like a tooth is going to pop up pretty soon!

It could be something else and we could just be putting things together that are really unrelated, but my friend Diana's daughter, Vada, got her first tooth right at 3 months! So it's not unheard of! I just wasn't quite expecting a tooth just yet! For one thing, I'm nursing her and I want to continue to do so for a year if I can! The idea of teeth and biting makes me really nervous! Any tips for how to keep a child from biting when they are nursing?

I'm not complaining, though! She'll be super cute with a little tooth!!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

By
This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

By
Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

By
Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
