Success!! A Tooth!!

Drooling and Chomping in May

Hey, Dougie. How exciting...you got your first tooth on Wednesday. You won't show it to anyone yet, but DeeDee put her finger in your mouth and felt that sharp new addition...it won't be long before you will be eating lots of new foods!! You have been drooling and chomping on your fingers for months now...so this is a real milestone. I'm sure that there will be more teeth coming in soon because you were still drooling and chomping yesterday.

DeeDee surely enjoyed your visit yesterday. Your mommy and daddy brought you over to see me. Daddy helped dig some roots out of our yard and Mommy and I took you downtown to pick out a necklace that she has wanted for a while. You had so much fun riding in my stroller and looking at everything in the shop. You were such a good boy...not a peep out of you.

When we got back to the house we had chocolate pie that Pappa Mike made on Wednesday evening for your Mommy's birthday. (Alas, your mommy wouldn't let you try the chocolate pie, even though you have a tooth now...) Her birthday is today and I'm sure that it will be her most special birthday yet because you are there to share it with her!! Happy Birthday, Mommy!! Have fun on your special day!!

Can't wait to see you again, Dougie. Love ya, DeeDee
