After months of no new teeth (she has 8 now), IRX is cutting 3 teeth! Poor thing, she's super crabby and biting her mama while nursing. She was banished from nursing after 4 incidents of biting and responding by running around the house until almost 10pm, all sweaty and with a glazed look in her eyes.
Don't know if it's because her nap schedule was compromised, she missed her afternoon nap and we put her down at 7pm, hoping she'd sleep through the night, but that was just a dream we had. It didn't work out that way. She finally fell asleep, in my arms, watching Maisy (don't judge, I can't lactate, I have nothing to offer and it was the only way to calm her down).
I hope the teeth come in quickly and that there aren't anymore for awhile.

17 Months!
The other day, I called IRX a baby and my sister corrected me, said she was a toddler and it hit me. Whoa, she's a toddler! She's a walking, talking, singing, dancing toddler! I didn't listen when people said the time would fly by. It totally flies by.
New words: broccoli (balki, which she LOVES and asks for ALL THE TIME), cookie (another new favorite, but she says it like Cookie Monster does), robot (bobot - she puts a "b" in front of everything lately, like biaper and bapple), go, bird, ice, ca-te (aguacate) and a whole mess of words why can't decipher and feel bad we can't decipher because she says them with such urgency and confidence.
Her Zadie came to visit over Memorial Day and we took Ida to her first baseball game (but not her first sport game, that honor has been taken by the Bulls). In true Cubs fashion, the were losing 5-0 within the first 10 minutes. I guess this is an early glimpse into the heartbreak/disappointment of being a Cubs fan, if Ida decides that's where her loyalty lie.
It was a gorgeous day for a game though and Wrigley is a great place to watch a game. Being a kid has it's benefits. A nice usher brought Ida a ball, said it was because she was the youngest person in his section.
I think it's safe to say that summer is here in Chicago. I think the last time I got hopeful and finally took down the rest of the plastic (in May!) we had a cold snap. But corn is good again, so that means summer, right?
Summer in Chicago can't be beat and so far IRX has gone to a concert in the park (and another one next week) and various neighborhood festivals, like when her Uncle Tom came to visit. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of them:
