We enter the thirty-seventh week with some fun developments. Baby's top front teeth have started to grow, so she clicks and grinds her teeth, especially when she is trying to sleep. (It's hard to bear when she does it with her head on my shoulder; there's no way to stop her.) Baby has discovered LAUGHING. On Sunday, she was cracking up because Husband was throwing a tiny paper airplane in front of her. All wide-mouthed and goofy. Baby has also decided she wants to be mobile, but she has yet to learn to crawl. She seems resistant to it, since she hates being on her tummy; with some struggle, she can inch backwards and swivel. She tries to move from the sitting position, which only leads to her sprawled face down on the floor with one leg folded beneath her.

We are also approaching Halloween. While she probably won't be awake to do Halloween stuff with other kids, I'm thinking about letting her make an appearance at my parents' church. They are having a party for the kids, a sort of 'it's-not-a-Halloween-party-cuz-we're-Christian-but-it's-Halloween' thing. Dress up Baby in her costume and let people ooh and ahh about how cute she is. (Duh.)
