. . . a clean deciduous set

As diphyodonts, we humans only get two chances to grow some pretty pearly whites, and baby-smiley is in the early stages of getting her 'milk teeth'. The process through the eyes of we-the-parents, seems to be long and painful for our tiny girl, and we want to do as much as we can to take extra special care of those itsy-teeth that have been so difficult for her to grow.

Thanks to the ingenuity of rioting Englishmen and a few hundred years of continued innovation, baby-adorable has a head-start on her first set of healthy teeth, and with her improving coordination, it certainly won't be long until she's brushing all on her own.





In other itsy-news, baby-sweetest is learning how to sing. Songs with gestures are her favorites, and just two days ago, she surprised mama and daddy with her first ever vocal rendition of this children's classic ode to an arachnid. Her sweet little voice was matched with her sweet little hands and fingers - twisting and turning their attempts at making it up the water spout.
