Gap toothed Ilona

Yesterday Ilona lost her first tooth (it was hanging on by a thread, so she let Emily pull it out while we were eating dinner). She was so happy (she wanted a loose tooth for months before she finally got one, and one time she told us she had 7 loose teeth at once). When she got home she decided she needed to wash it, and it went down the sink. So she wrote a note to the tooth fairy and left it under her pillow, and in the morning $2 was there - crisis averted!

Bluet's Blocks

In Block news, they are practical AND educational. Plus they make a good noise when banged together.

 

In fever news, she seems to be almost back to normal. She's been waking up around 10ish (probably as the baby pain killers wear off) and then after some comforting, returning to bed and sleeping through to 6 - this morning, she made it through to 7, so that is good).

In teeth news, she still doesn't have any.

In talking news, she is fond of saying ta-ta-ta-ta-ta; it is very sweet. I will try and capture it on audio. In the mean time here are two recordings from a couple of days ago. I like to think I can hear her say 'Dada' (if you listen really, really hard). Now if only she was actually looking at me when she said it.....
