Leila's first Thanksgiving and a Tooth!

Thanksgiving turned out to be a double "whammy" for Leila Joy. Mama and Leila hitched a ride to LA with Tia Emi...not sure if she'll be doing that again; Leila does not like being in the carseat and she was not quiet about it. But we made it to the hospital and Leila got to peek in and see Abuelita.

Then we headed to Saugus to get settled in and ready for Leila's first Thanksgiving. We got off to a rough start, though, and Leila had a pretty long night.....she was up crying and crying, which is not like her because she is usually a very good sleeper. We knew something was up. We made it through the night and in the morning we discovered the reason for all her fussing.....daddy looked in her mouth and found her first tooth poking through! (bottom right) It's about time, considering she started teething around 3 months old---it only took 5 mos to break through. So at exactly 8mos old Leila Joy has her first tooth...aka her "turkey tooth!"

The next day we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving II and Papa(Ryan) introduced Leila to a new tradition: eating whipped cream from the can! She loved it! Like father, like daughter!
