The Buckleys: Ivy's first tooth

Ivy's first tooth

Tonight while sitting at the dinner table Ivy was fussing so I took her out of her chair and was holding her. She began to gnaw on my knuckle (as she always does lately) and I felt something sharp. AHHH!! Ivy has a tooth, bottom right. Can't believe it. It is the first sign of becoming a toddler...not an infant. Makes me sad, although it is pretty cute.

When I noticed we started chanting "Ivy has a tooth!" and all had to check the little bugger out. Ivy was all smiles at our cheers and it appeared that Maya understood too, because she broke into tears. Maybe she was offended by our cheers for Ivy. Don't worry, Maya, we'll cheer for your first tooth too. I'm sure it isn't far off. :)

* Nancy * said...: WOW already!?! How cute - wish I could have seen her smiling while you guys chanted! I can just picture it, haha! Hope nursing isn't getting uncomfortable now that she's a tooth. :); July 20, 2010 at 12:11 PM
Ryan, Shayndel, & Kids said...: Cute story. Wonder if Ivy will proceed Maya in all the little milestones, even if it's only by 2 minutes. Maya's going to have to start getting competitive or her big sis may steal all the thunder! (Ivy is the older, right?); July 20, 2010 at 12:21 PM
Sarah said...: SO CUTE!! That is a fun milestone... esp. if you are past the fussiness! But I agree... milestones always bring bitter-sweet emotions for the mama. I don't seem to "push" the milestones as much with Macy as I did with Sydney- I'm probably learning that I really do enjoy those little moments & the milestones will come either way. Go Ivy! Can't wait to hear about Maya!; July 20, 2010 at 10:10 PM

I want to remember it like this...

October 2010:

Both Ivy and Maya say "Dada." Maya says in her growly voice a very clear, "DAD!" They are growing up too fast.

Eleanore likes to look in the mirror next to our table while we are eating dinner and she'll often talk to her reflection. She'll say things like "Who are you?" Yesterday she said, "Bananas smell good. Dirty socks don't smell good."

Eleanore dressed up like a fairy and announced "I am a Fairy Gospel."

In preperation for Halloween, Eleanore has been talking about all the things she could be and pretending to be many different Halloween-like characters including a nice witch and a mean witch. The nice witch laughs like this "HaHaHa" (high pitched and smiling. The mean witch laughs like this "HeHeHe" (low voice and scowl).

September 2010:

A friend of my mine stopped by to visit and she had her friend's son, Adam, with her. Throughout our hour-long visit Eleanore kept repeating "Adam was a prophet, first one that we know..." over and over. I kind of felt bad for the boy (who incidently is not a member of our church and doesn't know that Primary song), but it was pretty funny.

Eleanore has picked up on a few phrases that I use...that I think I picked up from my pops. "I'm exasperated." and "Oh Fiddlesticks." The latter really makes me think of my Dad.

After Bryan brushed Eleanore's hair she turned and said, "Thanks, Sweetie!"

August 2010:

Out of the blue (during a converstation lull...the girl doesn't like silence) Eleanore will often suggest, "Let's chat!"

Eleanore announces. "I know Portuguese." We ask, "Really, what?" "Portuguese!"

My new name: "Momster." Sometimes, even "Momsterarooski."

Eleanore loves to give giant hugs (just what they sound like), big smackarooskis (big kisses), and little mouse hugs (whe touches my shoulder with both hands and then busts up laughing).

July 2010:

Walking outside, Eleanore began narrating: "It was a beautiful summer day..."

A few months ago a man in our ward fell of the roof. We were talking about it because we were going to bring them dinner, and haven't really talked about it since. Today when El woke up from her nap she whispered, "Mom, someone fell off the roof." I asked who, totally not knowing what she was talking about. "Brother Dumm." She announced. It was actually a man named Brother Barrett, but Brother Dumm was sick at the same time and Bryan went to visit him the same day. What a memory she has.

June 2010:

I often tell Eleanore that if we watch too much TV our brains will get mushy. The other day I told her it was time to turn off the TV and she said, "Yes, my hair is mushy."

I told Eleanore that the babies didn't feel good. She said, "Mom, when I'm a grown up I can be a doctor and take care of them."

Eleanore asked what "No problem" means. I told her it meant you'd be glad to do it. Since then, I asked her if she would like to finger paint, she replied, "I'd be glad to do it." I got the same response when I asked if she wanted a piece of candy.

May 2010:

"[Ivy] is a precious girl. I feel that in my heart," Eleanore after kissing Ivy.

"My hair is not a toy Mom," Eleanore to Mom after sitting through three attempts at French braids.

"It's hard being a big sister," Eleanore.

"I love you, I love you, I really, really love you," Eleanore singing very seriously and loudly.

Eleanore asked to watch a t.v. show called Max and Ruby, I told her, "No, I don't like that show. " She responded, " Then you go away and I'll watch it. I like it."

January 2010:

"Babies poop a lot," Eleanore to Mom as I changed yet another diaper. "Babies cry a lot," Eleanore to Mom about five minutes later.
