Announcing the arrival of...tooth #2

Gabrielle got her second tooth this week. It came in sometime on Monday. Which was of course my first day back to work so I missed the big event, but discovered it when I got home. Tooth #2 is right next to the first one and I'm still not used to looking at her smile and seeing teeth. I'm sure it will grow on me though. She's also started making more crawling motions this week and eating fruit puffs--think banana flavored Cherrios type snacks. She'll even stand on her own for a few seconds at a time but loses it when she tries to turn around to see if you're watching.

No new news on Two. I've felt a few movements already, but they're pretty minimal and only about once a day. We're getting close to having to break out the maternity clothes though. I can wear a few pairs of my fat girl pants again. I guess it's good I didn't have them altered after I lost the Gabrielle weight. Oh well...I'll get them fixed next time.

We went to the zoo tonight for the AF band holiday party. It was very cool to go to a holiday party after all of the madness of the holiday is over. They rented out the restaurant that is attached to the jungle and we got to go in the jungle after hours in the semi-darkness. It was a little creepy and some of the animals were hard to see. And especially for Alicia, since I know she loves birds, there were a bunch--okay maybe only two--but these birds followed us around in their part of the jungle. I assumed they were expecting food and have learned that people who come into the exhibit have food. They were freaky though and were not afraid to get real close to people. All I could think of was some wierd variation on an Alfred Hitchcock movie. I don't like to be that close to birds. Eww...
