mouthful of teeth

one day during school time i noticed an extra bit of something white in dava's mouth...turned out, before her first two teeth could fall out...two new one's were already growing in...
so i went on a tooth-loosening-jihad. and pretty soon, the first one came out...
now they're both out, and the new teeth are quickly making their way to the front, where they're supposed to be.

new home...

we are now in a new place...no internet yet...but it shewer is pretty, nice little set-up. aside from the 200millionbilliontrillion dogs on the property, i'm happy. :)

one afternoon...

my first dreamcatcher

the camera flirt

as soon as the camera comes out she smiles and makes foolish faces...
that overdone smile on the right, that's her "i'm so happy to be eating" mealtime face...

the little bird who wouldn't fly

note the key word is wouldn't not couldn't. the kids had fun following it around, peeking at it under the bushes, running around the driveway...when it got bored of such childish games, it finally proved itself a true bird and flew away...
searching for the bird behind the stroller...

round 3...

not to be left out of the cool crowd, samantha decided she just had to make like her two older sisters and get herself some pretty pink baby measles. unlike liney, who was the happiest little spotted baby ever, samantha was a lot more like dava, very morose and quiet, very still, restful and quietly grumpy. only content to be constantly held. but unlike her squirmy-wormy self, she was so nice and calm, and would just lay her head on our shoulders. she wouldn't be caught dead doing something so inactive like that now. shucks!

it all started with a fever, that quite literally warmed mommy's cold cheekies
and then came the spots
and the grumpiness
