Though she manages to chomp down - ouch! - while she's nursing, at 9 months old Mirabel still doesn't have any teeth. Her pediatrician still suggested we try some grain puffs as a first snack; if anything to get her to practice her pincer grasp and hand-to-mouth coordination as occupational therapy.

So we did.

And it stuck to her toothless gums.

And she had "teeth."

And we laughed for days.

Ah, Mirabel, I hope you'll be able to forgive me for taking pictures and laughing til I cried before assisting you with your first Happy Puff. I look forward to chuckling to these photographs together one day.

I love you, Mirabel!

Love,

Mama
