A first word then a first tooth

So, I have had this blog for a long time, but never posted anything. Usually I only use my log in to leave everyone comments. Kim sent me an email today asking me to post updates on baby girl, so I thought I would let everyone know about our eventful week.

Last Thursday (October 9th) Lorelei said her first distinguishable word. "Da Da". She got stuck on it and repeated it over and over again for nearly an hour. Then it was back to her usual babble. She has, however, been saying it more and more often now. I think that she is realizing that "Da Da" elicits a response from the rest of us so she uses it to get our attention.

Then, this past Saturday (October 11th), on our car ride to Gainesville, I discovered her very first tooth! Her bottom right tooth has poked through. My baby is getting so big so fast! :(




This picture is from Lorelei's first Gator Game (vs. Hawaii on August 30th... the Gators won).


One of Glenn's friends from work (who is also a Gator Grad) bought this outfit for her.


I absolutely love the big polka dot bows on her shoulders. She loves them too because they are big enough to reach her mouth.







I took this picture yesterday when we were going to Costco to pickup a cake for my office.

Lorelei loved sitting in the cart like a big girl and not being stuck in her car seat.

She was able to look around at everything and smile at everyone.

One thing is for certain. This little lady loves to smile!
