Not just one... TWO TOOFERS!

Yesterday, when Stephen came home work via Wally-world with Stella he brought her in the TV room. Not to my surprise she was holding on to something and chewing... something she has been doing for two months now. It took me a minute to figure out what she was chewing on as Stephen continued to say to me "Momma, what am I chewing on?" - it was toothbrushes. It still did not dawn on me because he had told me that morning the next time one of us went to Wally-world to grab him a specific type of toothbrush. He then replied with "how many toothbrushes momma?" Well it was a pack of two toothbrushes, still no surprise. I replied with "two" as if it really didn't mean much.

I still wasn't catching on.

He asked "why would I need TWO tooffbrushes momma?." At this point I looked at him and said "I'm sorry, but i'm not understanding you."

And then the light bulb went off.

I snatched her out of his arms, desperately looking for TWO toofers. Couldn't find them.

About two months ago, daycare pointed out that a top tooth had popped through. Low and behold, it was a top tooth. Her top gum swelled up literally the next day and we have not been able to see it again.

Stephen finally felt bad for me.. and our almost 10 month old who did NOT want someone to mess with her mouth.. and hinted for me to look at the bottom.

After some unique positions of her head - there they were, her TWO bottom front teeth.
No more chewing on momma's chin, that's for sure!

Yay for Stella!

Happy Halloween


Our first Halloween was a busy day for Miss Stella the Peacock. It started out with Breakfest with Pop as he blew through town.

We were then off to spend some much needed time with Mimi C & Papa. She did not go down for her MORNING nap until 12:00, so needless to say we were way off schedule.


She did not go down for her afternoon nap until 4:30! Needless to say, she slept until dark, waking up around 6:30. So, we gobbled down dinner and headed to the drive way to join the neighbors in welcoming trick-or-treaters. They came by the bus loads. I can say I have never seen that many kids.
Next year is going to be an entirely different story and we just can't wait!
