anatomy.

...of a mouth.  that's what kj is learning these days!

it shouldn't be too surprising, i suppose, that while she is obsessed with grabbing & touching my lips, teeth, tongue, that she herself would be acquiring the use of her very own yapper.

as i type, she is maneuvering rice krispies into her mouth, doing a semblance of chewing motions, and using her tongue to make them disappear down the tube.  as she clears her "plate", she calls out with the first consonants she has been practicing since last week: dadadadada.  and only an hour ago, i felt the little prick of her first toofer poking through her front gum.  that can only help in the eating department, right?!  (yikes!)

yes, it's true.  that girl's got a mouth on her!
