Eliza cutting up and cutting teeth ---

Eliza has now officially cut a tooth, if she hadn't already. We had thought one had broken through the gum, and it may have, but it quickly disappeared. Now there is no doubt that her first tooth is up, as she bit Daddy with it on Friday. Of course this means her teeth are bothering her more now, but thanks to Orajel it's not too bad for her. She's now taking 10-20 steps at a time as she gets the walking thing down. She'd abandoned walking-exploration in favor of crawling shortly after she took her first steps. Before walking she had no interest in crawling, but now she's doing both quite well.

Eliza's also quite fond of clapping her hands together, something she learned a little while back. Now she's responding to things she likes by clapping her hands in approval. She's quite the clown in the family, even at a young age goofing around and playing games with others. Put her and Ella together and you're in for quite an entertaining show.

Ella Grace got to see an old friend (at 5 she has such friends) who moved away about a year ago. Ella hadn't seen her since she had left. The two picked up with their friendship right were they had left off.
