A Blog Entry By Hana Grace

It's about time Mommy let me take control of this blog, after all, it is my blog, right? That's what she tells me at least. I hear she's been telling you all about my teething situation. Well, one of my top teeth has finally come through. My gums are still really swollen though, so I know the other one will be here soon. Teething is not for babies. This stuff really hurts bad. Daddy says I scream so loud at night that if I could talk I would be yelling curse words, whatever that means. Last night was much worse than the night before. I woke up several times because my mouth hurt and then I'd realize that Mommy and Daddy weren't there. Mommy is being tough now, she doesn't run to me every time I whimper. I guess she's trying to show me that she's in charge, but I've got news for her! As soon as they can understand what I say I'll be running this place!

I can say "Mama" now. I even look at her when I say it so she knows I'm talking to her. When she goes in the other room I always scream "Mama" just so she knows I miss her already! "Dada" still doesn't come out just right. I know who he is and I try really hard to say it but mostly it sounds like "Ah Dah." Sometimes I am able to say just "Dada," but then other times it's "Dadadada." He knows that I know who he is though and one day it will come out of my mouth just right. Give me a break, guys. I'm already ahead of the game. I am only 8 1/2 months old!

Yesterday Mommy fed me noo noos. (that's noodles for you zoners) They were really good. Much better than that chicken Mommy's been making me eat. YUCK! She's been really nice and blending it with veggies but it still tastes worse than my yert does. I eat it for her because I know she's trying really hard, although every time I get a good taste of just the chicken I can't help but to gag. Aunt Dian suggested mixing it with fruit, so Mommy did mix it with apples and sweet potatoes. That was my favorite, but we don't have anymore of that. Mommy bought a whole bunch of baby food and they are all different kinds so that I can try lots of new things and none of the other fruits she bought sound very good with chicken, especially the blueberries!

Here's the videos Mommy took of me having a noo noo for the first time. I didn't really eat it as much as I played with it. I did like how squishy it was in my mouth though! If you'll notice I'm double-bibbed when I eat and drink now. Mommy says she has to do that because I have a difficult time drinking from my sippy cup now that I have two teeth. Wait, now I have three teeth, and soon I'll have four!
