She also likes to chew on shoes, she has for as long as I can remember. Although she would happily chew on one for quite some time I try to discourage that behavior. I only let her try this time long enough to take the picture. She has been getting more and more teeth so she should be done teething soon and she can eat almost anything without a problem.
Well, without a problem until tonight that is. She actually hurt her mouth pretty badly tonight although it should all be ok in a couple of days or weeks at the most. She was climbing our bed to get to Hunter and somehow, I'm still not really sure how this happened in order to injure her the way that it did, but she hit one of her bottom teeth really hard. She has 3 grown in with the 4th finally poking thru and the middle one was knocked forward about the depth of one of her teeth. She has quite the crooked little smile now. She was pretty upset and actually bled quite a bit, even for a mouth wound. I did call the pediatrician on call just to be safe. She said that there's nothing that they really could do and that it'll probably tighten up and move back into place soon. Well, my tough little cookie was fine about 20 minutes later, took her tylenol and went to bed just fine. I do think that she may hold off on chewing on the shoes for a while.

Poor,poor little girl--hope her mouth is much better today. Maybe a loose tooth will change her prsent eating preferences (shoes and dirt) for something sweeter--ice cream, maybe. Give her a hug from usand get one back for you. Say hello to Hunter from grandma and grandpa. We love all the entries and the great pictures. I check it every day. cathy
