And this one is teething?!

My mom swore that Lana was teething, and I swore that she wasn't. After all, Julia got her first teeth at six months, and Lana's not even four yet. But then today, she chomped down on my finger and by golly I think I felt a tooth in there. She hasn't officially cut any yet but it looks like she's well on her way.

My goodness these girls are growing up so quickly....

First day of school!

Julia had her first day of school today. She'll be going two days a week for three hours, to a Mother's Day Out program down the street. She was excited until we got there and I explained that I'd be leaving her there for a little bit. Then we walked into a room of crying toddlers and she started to panic. 

I hid and watched until she calmed down. I couldn't help it. I hid behind a bush and waited for her to stop crying. Then I finally got a grip and left. The teachers said she did fine when I went to pick her up, but she definitely seemed out of sorts. She calmed down quickly though, and she'll be fine as soon as she gets the routine down and understands that Mommy always comes to get her by lunchtime.

Here are a few pics from the morning:

"Smile, Julia? Oh great thanks."
