It's Been a Long Time

Although it has a been a long time, I've been working on a bunch of different posts. They just aren't ready yet and require more editing until I feel they are just right. Sod this post will have to do to hold over until the others are completed.

My precious, MJ and I are listening to Miss Lou. Although MJ can't follow what Miss Lou is saying, it's a good way for her to get some Jamaican culture.

Current snapshot of MJ & I while writing.

As you can see, MJ is really into putting her hands into her mouth. For months I've been thinking that she has been teething but I really don't think so. Still no teeth have broken through the skin but the drool cascades from her mouth like Niagara Falls.

MJ has also shown that she is going to be very different from her big brother. MJ believes things that touch her hands should be "Mouth tested, Mouth Approved!" Her brother didn't put much in his mouth. My precious on the other hand, everything feels as though it should enter her mouth. Toys, fingers, Jackie's fingers, mama and dada's hands (that are sometimes not clean), and anything else that shouldn't be eaten all have a chance to chewed by her pink gums. I know it is very developmental and expected. It is actually really good to see that the two are different in some ways. Being unique gives them a chance to create their own identities, even if they look like age twins right now.

Baby girl also has some wicked curls. If I didn't know better, you'd think she already knew about hair product to get a curl like that. After all, Kim has said that her own hair is bone straight. My hair isn't that curly, but then again my hair hasn't ever been that long so I have no idea what it'd look like if it ever grew that long.
