New Teeth

Esme's been very busy this past week - she got 3 new teeth!  They finally popped through after bulging thru her gums for over a month now.  She got the right lateral incisor last Sunday, then the left lateral incisor on Tuesday and finally the left central incisor this past Friday.  She seems to be doing fine and is finally sleeping through the night again so maybe that was the secret.  Sometimes she likes to grate her teeth against one another now that she has a top and bottom row and it's the worst sound ever.  Hopefully that doesn't last too long.  

She's enjoying some new foods with her teeth and today we tried a scrambled egg for the first time with no sign of a reaction.  Prior to this she's only eaten the egg yolk.  The other allergenic foods that we have yet to try are peanut butter, whole milk and shellfish.  She's also recently had groats, meatloaf, roasted veggies, chili, and chicken tortilla soup.  We've noticed that she really likes beans and any type or soup/chili/stew with rice.  

Esme's been having fun with her friend Mr Hippo lately.  I'll go in her room sometimes and she'll be lying in her crib with her hand reaching out and holding Mr. Hippo.  We've since moved him downstairs so they can hang out more now.  She also likes going for rides in the tv tray on the family room carpet.  As long as Allen and I have the energy she'll do this all evening!  And best of all is the couch tunnel/maze.  She likes to crawl between the ottoman and the couch to see what's on the other side of the little tunnel.  We hide on the other side and it never fails to surprise her and make her laugh :)
