Mimi's Eventful Week

This has been quite a busy week for Mimi -- in both good and bad ways. First of all, Mimi's first tooth has finally emerged! She has been doing some serious chewing and gnawing for about 5 months, but I'm glad to say it was not in vain. (If you can enlarge this photo you can see a little white speck on the bottom of her mouth). Thank goodness I found magical teething tablets that help with the pain!!

Last weekend we visited our friends Amery, Clay, and Olivia in their new, yet very old 1800's home. The yard was full of purple flox, so of course I had to take about 100 photos of Mimi.

Mimi's friend Hadley has made it to the one-year-old mark and was rewarded with a fabulous red wagon! They had so much fun throwing their toys over the side!

Uh oh . . . Mimi discovered cartoons this week. She is sitting in the middle of fabulous toys but is mesmerized by Yo Gabba Gabba (Jack Black was actually on this episode. Strange, huh?). Our favorites so far are Max and Ruby, Charlie and Lola, and the Backyardigans. Lola is my personal fave. And now for the bad . . . a family stomach virus! It hit Mimi first on Tuesday night, me on Wednesday morning, and Clint later on Wednesday. Poor little Mimi was so miserable and we could do nothing but hold her and let her watch cartoons. So sad.

My sister's family visited us Easter weekend and we had a family egg hunt in my backyard. Mimi's cousins Courtney and Nick found all the eggs . . . and Mimi chewed on them. After the egg hunt, we went to the zoo and had a blast. Mimi completely skipped her morning nap because she was so excited about all the animals and other kids. Later in the day we went to the Overton Square Crawfish Party . . . and then she went to bed at 5:30!
