So Santa was a little late with Ember's Christmas wish -- maybe if she would have articulated it, we would have known to include them in her wish list, but on Thursday night, her gift arrived ... I suppose the only one she really wanted ... her two )bottom) front teeth! I couldn't believe it - she's been drooly, but not really cranky, just a little clingy. I hope all the rest of the teeth are this easy to acquire!
Another first for Ember this week was her first bowl of rice cereal or "solid food". Most kids I know do not enjoy this first bowl, as they cannot figure out how their tongue is supposed to work WITH the spoon to ingest the sloppy, pasty mess in the bowl. The tongue usually works against the spoon and rice, pushing it out as quickly and with as much drool as possible. Not Ember, NO NO, my fluffy little girl took about two bites to figure out that she could get more food in her belly if she worked with the spoon and slicked that slimy stuff right down -- no spills, no crusty hair, no nothing, just a happy baby who wanted more when we finished! David, after looking at her then at me, asked just one question, "And this surprised you?" Yep, she's our little chunk!
And our last "first" of the week ... Ember, growing the way she does, pretty much reached maximum capacity of her bassinet, which both her sisters, her Aunt Desiree, her mommy, and her great Aunt Connie all used. She bravely joined the big girls in her big crib in the sleeping room, and loves it! She loves to chatter at and sing to the animals on the mobile, and mommy loves that the animals lull her to sleep! So, we can put her to bed when we go to bed and bid her sweet dreams, and we go to our own room, which is our own again! Our room is now child-free in the evenings ... at least until a leg ache, nightmare, or thirst attack hits :)
Exciting week here at Castle De La Rahija! Hope your week was fun as well!

Wow! That's awesome! I am waiting for K's teeth to come in...she's drooly, but no other signs yet. :) We've not started her on solids yet; I am going to wait as long as I can I think. I am so not ready for my baby to grow up....so glad to hear Ember's doing well! Praying for you guys, and look forward to hearing more about your adventures. Love, Heidi :)
Our girlies have yet to pop some teeth. But since they've been the opposite of everything else our older 2 have done, (they popped teeth with no fussing whatsoever) I'm afraid it'll be quite the ordeal when it happens! Yea for you, though!! :) Also, our girlies took a while to get the cereal thing down, but once we introduced squash, pears, etc. they caught on quite quickly -- must have been the pasty-ness of the cereal you would never catch me eating! :) I'm excited you have your room back! If Adah would stop waking up Abby in the middle of the night, we'd have both of them in their own room instead of just the noisy one! :)
