A.'s first Christmas was really nice. My mom, dad, and sister (visiting from Seattle) came over in the morning for the classic Christmas -- stockings, pancake breakfast, lots of presents. A. got more than anyone else, of course. Normally, she's all about ripping and eating paper goods of various types, but we couldn't get her to tear into her presents. Oh well, it meant more presents to open for me.
The day after Christmas, A. was pretty fussy. When we finally get a giggle out of her, what do we see on her bottom gum? Two little white spots! Her first teeth are arriving! Unfortunately, it appears we're in for a long, painful process. The spots have barely gotten larger in the last 3 days, and the poor girl appears to be in pain. At least it comes and goes, so she's not miserable 24/7.
This weekend, before more family visits, JJ and I are going to see three houses. Two of them aren't the specific house we'd like, but the idea is to get a feel for the sort of houses that are in two neighborhoods that are commute-friendly for JJ. If we liked the general feel and layout, we'd keep an eye out in that neighborhood for just the right house. The third house is one that we might be interested in. It's very different from the other two -- those are in newer and fairly homogeneous neighborhoods, whereas this one is older and not in a neighborhood, per se. The things we like are the large yard (.5 to 1 acre) and the smaller town that it's in.
It'll be an interesting comparison between the three. I'll have more details next week.
