Finally!!!!

We've been waiting for months, but finally Eve's bottom right molar popped through! I've been able to feel the shape of it under her gums for at least a few weeks now. Poor thing. No wonder she was such a pill yesterday. She has started to voice her opinion by whining/crying "no, no, no" about, well, almost everything. It took her a long time to actually say "no", but now it's her favorite word. Now I have hope that maybe we can blame at least a little bit of that on really sore gums. No progress, so far as I can tell, on the top molars. These teeth are really taking their time! As for "no", here's the unfortunate conversation that may have been the debut of this lovely word. We were in the car about a week ago or so. Eve kept saying "Daddy" (ok, that's the one word she likes more than "no"). I said "You love your daddy, don't you", she replied "uh-huh". I asked about John, and got the same response. I asked about Mama and got a quick shake of the head...side to side. Later when Buck got home I told him about it. He was trying to quiz her to prove to me that it was a fluke. He went through the list and when he got to me she shook her head again. Second try was answered with a definite "no". Oh well, I'm sure it'll get worse when she's older. She certainly is Daddy's little girl, though. Right now the way she says things is so cute, it's hard not to laugh at the things she shouldn't say. We sat at the table for a good 20 minutes or so laughing at her saying "toots", and laughing at John laughing. I'll have to try to post the video to prove the immaturity of the whole family, but she says it in such a funny way, and John has such a great genuine laugh that is so contageous. It's one of my most favorite things about him. I also have a fun video of her "jumping". She's so proud of herself, but doesn't get any air time at all. So cute.
On a different note, I was trying to prep John for the new baby coming last night, explaining to him that one morning he might wake up and Mama and Daddy would be at the hospital and somebody else would be home with him. He was so excited about meeting the new baby he was jumping all over the bed. I love that he is so excited.
