Background

On March 29, 2011, we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful, identical
twin girls. We were very excited for this event, especially since it was
preceded by a 5 week hospital stay for me (and pretty much for Ches, too, since
he spent every night there with me).

Now we are trying to navigate the waters of parenthood. There is no amount
of mental preparation one can do to get ready for a new baby, let alone two
babies! I am creating this blog in order to share the experiences, but more
importantly, as a type of diary to capture all the moments I fear I will forget
if left up to just my brain to remember!

Not Just Gums Anymore

It is a regular occurrence for Alina & Avery to gnaw on our fingers. They gnaw on everything. But today, as Alina was in the middle of a serious gumming session on my thumb, I felt something rough. Sure enough, her first tooth has begun to emerge from her bottom gum. It is barely there, but definitely visible. How fast do baby teeth grow in?

Guess that explains why Alina has been extra vigorous in her teething efforts. Ches checked Avery, but she still is all gums. I can't even imagine how cute they are going to be with a few teeth. They are seeming more in the mood for food, too. They smack their lips whenever we are eating and have recently taken up the habit of trying to chew the nipples on the bottles instead of drinking.

Just wanted to post about this first in the Wilson household. Pretty exciting!
