Teeth! Rolling Over! Dahlia is developing....

Our Labor Day weekend consisted of a few firsts: Dahlia's lower front two teeth came through and are slowly coming all the way up. Not fun for all involved, but we seemed to make it through. She also rolled over for the first time! She rolled from her tummy to her back. She is also getting very close to laughing. We can see her thinking about it.

In other news, Dahlia doesn't really like carrots, but she does like sweet potatoes. So now we know that she likes squash and sweet potatoes. Our guess is those are a little bland, while carrots and pears are a little more flavorful and might be a little much yet. She is learning how to eat from the spoon and gets a little better every day.

This coming week we are going to start using some sign language with her. We are going to start using these: Mom, Dad, Milk, Eat, More, Finished, and Dog. We'll probably introduce others at around 9 months or so, but these ones will probably be the most useful in communicating with her. We'll see how it goes!
