Proud as a Peacock

So, they aren't quite big enough to show up in a picture, but at seven months, our sweet Lillie Pie finally cut her first tooth - and then within a couple of days, her second tooth! Both were bottom center, first right, then the left. She continues to be Lillie-the-late-bloomer, as she went toothless way longer than either her sister or her brother. But though she had a couple of fussy days, her teething experience has been a breeze compared to big brother's!

She is sitting up so straight and strong, and she couldn't be prouder! Again, laid-back Lillie sat a little later than Sophie and Will, but I think it's probably because I so rarely put her down! Sitting

helps her hang in there with Soph and Will a bit better, though I still have to hold her about 80% of the time, so Will doesn't accidentally flatten her!

And in further Lillie-is-a-genius news, she is constantly saying "Dadda" -

yep, Dadda! When she wakes up in the middle of the night, she gazes at me, eyes full of love, gives me a precious smile, only reserved for her mama, and coos... "Dadda, Daaadda!" Yes, the exclusively-nursed, never- put-down child who is more attached to me than either her brother or sister (and that is quite a tall order) only says "Dadda!" Oh well, this mama is as proud as a peacock anyway!
