Is this really what Avery wished for? Well, it seems as though he's getting them whether he wants them or not!
We have been patiently (?) awaiting the arrival of Avery's first tooth after what seems like months and months of teething symptoms: excessive drooling, constant munching on anything within arms reach and rosy red cheeks. Last week we felt a sharp nub just under his gums. Finally, this morning we can see a little tiny tooth emerging from his gum line, with, lo and behold, a neighbor to the left.
I have been told by other mom's that the appearance of multiple teeth at one time is a common occurrence. I am very happy to say that since the teeth have mostly popped through, Avery's mood has been very pleasant. It was perfect timing for Avery's first encounter with Santa this weekend.
On Saturday morning, we met up with many of the Stroller Fit Moms to take in the Lakeshore Blvd Santa Claus Parade. We braved the chilly weather, with the help of some coffee and croissants from Tatsu's Bakery, and cheered on all of the wonderful floats and marching bands. It was much more low key than the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, but that just added to it's charm. As one of the Stroller Fit Moms so aptly put it, it had a small town feeling - which is exactly what I was hoping for.
This evening we attended a wonderful Christmas party at Alix and Fiona's. Avery was the centre of attention and gave the hosts a frightening sneak preview into what parenthood is all about. Avery lasted about 1 1/2hr and decided that he wanted to leave, which means he screamed bloody murder. We can't blame him, he hadn't napped all that well during the day and it was time for his dinner. We just want to wish Alix and Fiona Congratulations on expecting their first bundle of joy! With the risk of sounding absolutely nauseating, it will be the most wonderful thing you will ever experience, period!
