Kissy-Monster

Abigail loves to give kisses, and... finally loves getting them too! I have showered her with kisses from the very first moment I saw her: I would probably have tried to kiss her while in the belly, if I could have. Though when I was pregnant I would kiss the palm of my hands and place a little kiss on her that way.

Anyway, up until a few months ago, she didn't seem to care about being smooched all the time (I wonder why...). She seems to have changed her tune since she has learned to kiss back, and to blow kisses with her little soft hand. So now Abigail will pucker her lips, emit a loud "mwah!!", and laugh joyously to top it all off. Sometimes she will also suck in her cheeks to give it an extra something special.

I have been trying to film her blowing kisses, but she gets shy (??). Sooner or later I will catch her at it and post the video! In the meantime, here are a couple of kisses caught on camera :)

... And Then There Were Three

This is a mystery the likes of which not even Agatha Christie could have written about. Abbie now has three teeth! Three! And not the ones we were expecting and have been watching for: the superior front incisors. Although they are "there", very visible under her upper gums, ready to pop... Abbie has a third lower incisor! Right there, finally in the open! It was so funny when I saw it: I was feeding her, and this sharp thingy was just... there. I looked closer, and the realization just floored me. Christopher and I have been watching closely her top gums and taking bets as to when the front incisors would finally make their grand entrance. Oh well. It explains the crankiness of the last few days, and also why, when she "kissed" me today on the chin it hurt so bad. That thing is sharp!
