Chomp, Chomp, Chomp

Esme's second tooth came in at the end of last week and it was so different than how the first one came in.  Her gums were all puffy and she was so much more tired and fussy compared to before.  She could barely stay up for me to feed her after I got home for work.  Since then she continues to chew on everything and has even experimented with biting me while nursing.  Yikes!  She's quickly learned that's definitely not the way to get anymore milk and hasn't done it since.

A little stranger anxiety has also set in.  I can't just take her somewhere and plop her down with people cause she'll start to cry.  If I ease her in then she's fine but I can't just disappear right away.  Same thing happens when I come home at the end of the day.  She gets all excited to see me but if I disappear out of her line of sight just to put my bags down then she starts to fuss.  It's strange cause she rarely fusses otherwise. 

Oh and something even more exciting - Esme signed milk for me last weekend!  I have to admit that I kept thinking she was waving hi to me the first few times she did it and then it hit me - she wants milk!  Turns out now that she can sign it to me she wants it more than I ever used to give it to her.  Ha ha!  We've also been signing more, water, and eat consistently but now we'll have to start doing the others more, like please, thank you, up, down, change diaper, book, bath, bed, etc.   

 This is the only picture of those little teeth that we've gotten so far

Esme was so excited for "Awntie" B's visit from San Francisco
