Fiona is a teething machine. It was only last Wednesday that we noticed the first tooth peeking through her bottom gum. This morning we received a call from Fi’s grandma informing us that my suspicions about a second tooth were correct. The second tooth broke through the gumline and is showing to the world whenever Fi flashes her beautiful smile. Being a dad gets better every day.
This past week was an amazing one for Amy and I as parents. Monday started the week off on a grand note. We finished changing Fiona’s diaper and were preparing her for bedtime. She kept rolling around trying to get to Amy, when all of a sudden she rolled over from back to belly for the first time ever. After a few days of trying – Fi’s camera shy like her parents – I was finally able to get it on video. She almost rolls right out of the scene:
Wednesday rolled around and provided us with another first, and only somewhat of a surprise. As Amy was picking Fiona up from grandma and grandpa’s house, she noticed Fi’s first tooth coming in. Somehow, Amy managed to get a picture of the tooth, and with the DSLR no less:
The third first of this week occurred earlier this morning. After nearly 5 full days of learning to roll over, and pretty much scooting herself wherever she wants to go, Fiona was rolling over pretty frequently this morning. She typically gets upset when laying on her stomach for to long, leading to us eventually assisting her in rolling back over. That assistance won’t be needed much longer. Fi rolled herself over from back to belly, and within seconds, rolled herself back to her stomach, all without getting upset.
We can’t wait to see what the rest of the weekend has in store for us.
When I see this picture, I can hear Frank Sinatra singing My Funny Valentine. This Valentine’s Day is like no other before it for Amy and I. WIth Fiona around, every day is Valentine’s Day. While we make our plans to surprise one another in some small way, we conspire as to what we’re going to do for our little valentine. What will she wear? Where will we go? What should we get her?
We plan on visiting family this coming weekend, and sharing our little valentine. Though Sunday is Valentine’s Day, for us, every day before and after will still be Valentine’s Day.
