LUCCA!!!!!

Today was an interesting day with the little lady. We had a couple of "firsts" ... but not exactly milestones to brag about. She bit me with her new shiny teeth for the 1st time, on my pinky finger and hard enough for me to scream OUCH (!!!) and check for blood. Shockingly, my finger was still intact. I am teaching her the "Don't Bite Your Friends" (or your mom!) song from Yo Gabba Gabba promptly. She will know the song by tomorrow night. Promise.

She also had her 1st public tantrum/meltdown in a restaurant. This was awesome. The culprit = balloons. My sweet, precious, pretty lil thing turned into a mess of a baby for about 3 minutes, although it felt like an hour. A couple of kids walked into the restaurant holding balloons and Lucca wanted those balloons with every ounce of her being. Balloons are her second favorite thing, behind dogs. When she unfortunately realized those balloons weren't hers and that she was not getting one, she freaked. Freaked. Sobbing, tears, red face...all of it.

Lovely day.

I'm blogging these stories so they become a part of my Lucca book. I want to remember all the good times along with the bouts of CRAZY dayz we have along the way. Today, definitely a crazy day...and I'm off to pour a(nother) glass of wine...
