Tooth alert, Part II

Rachel is definitely getting teeth, we can see them! They're two adorable white buds with ridges on top that have just made it past her bottom gum line. I can tell because last night, when she grabbed for my finger and began biting it, it hurt. A lot. "Ouch!" I yelled, and yanked my finger out. She thought that was the funniest thing imaginable.

"This is when a lot of women stop breast-feeding," Drew said. Which is not an issue with me -- Rachel has been on formula exclusively since about 6 weeks -- but I am really looking forward to the day when we can consolidate feedings and she won't wake up at 5:30 a.m., hungry.

Of course, there are disadvantages to solids, too. To put it bluntly, her poops stink. I can already tell that I'll miss the days of harmless, green, non-smelly formula-based poops.

Guess this is a sign my baby is growing up.
