A tooth, peas and a swing.

As Olivia continues her adventures in baby-hood, she is now armed with one fledgling tooth and another not far behind. While it is currently only about a millimeter above the gum line, this tooth promises a world of pizza, crackers and pretzels for Miss Livvy - not a bad future. While her occasional irritability may suggest otherwise, our little girl is very excited about her culinary future. However, we mustn't get ahead of ourselves, as we all know the land of cookies and treats is still quite a ways off. And so, we continue to have new experiences in the wide world of mush. While last week's introduction to carrots went quite well, this week's entry has not been received quite as enthusiastically: peas. While she hasn't closed the door entirely on this sweet, green-veggie option, she's not loving it. I hope patience will prove me wrong and she will grow to love these in time : ) Next week we may sweeten things up a bit and try some fruit - bananas seem like a likely choice.

In other news, during a nice stretch of warm days, Livvy and I made several trips to some of Providence's local playgrounds. Now that she has begun to master the art of sitting up, I decided to give the swings a shot. Those bucket swings are perfect for her, and with some obvious assistance and steadying from me - she was off!

Livvy and her new toothy grin!

Where are those carrots?

I'm swinging!
