Tibetan throat singing

Britta has developed a new habit, and it's slightly disturbing: it's a raspy growl that I refer to as Tibetan throat singing. I am not sure if it is because Britta is mimicking all the "guard" labra-doodles the neighbour has, or because I make a growl when I pick her up and tickle her tum.

Britta has two teeth already and more are sure to follow.

Christmas Uber-Post

Christmas and New Years was a blur! Britta proved that no diaper could contain her and sullied two different Christmas dresses. I suspect she was trying to avoid the awkward visit to liver-spotted mall Santa. In the end, force of will alone got her there for a special Baby's First Christmas moment (minus her Christmas dress).

We spent a few days with Grandma Alice and then Boxing Day with the extended family. It was a great time! Britta helped unwrap Christmas presents on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. She made out very well indeed! Apparently, the old Naughty or Nice list has been replaced with the Cute or Not-so-Cute, because Santa brought cute little Britta a load of presents! When Kristine put a bow on Britta's head it caused a pout that could have melted any heart.

We made a trip to visit Britta's Great-Grandma Agnes and Britta also met her second cousin Zoe, who is just ten days her junior.

Britta now has two teeth, both on the bottom. She has also started some home-made solids: potatoes, carrots, pears, and apples. The fruits are her favourites; I figure one of those two teeth is her sweet tooth.
