Elizabeth seems to be learning how to share. The other day she was eating a cracker and stuck it in my mouth for me to have a bite too. We went back and forth for awhile with me pretending that her cracker was the tastiest thing to ever pass my lips. She also tried this with some cheese I stuck in her mouth. She spit it out of her mouth and put it in mine. I guess she didn’t want to waste it.

She’s still putting a lot of things in her mouth. When we go outside, I’m constantly taking pieces of mulch, dirt and sticks out of her mouth and hands. We came inside and about 15 minutes later she wanted to nurse. I sat at the computer nursing her, but there was a very sharp sensation. I thought it might have been the fact that I was trying to type and her new teeth were getting me. It wasn’t until she was finished that I noticed her mouth clenched shut, which usually means something is in there. I stuck my finger in there and fished out a 1 cm piece of dry, sharp leaf from the roof of her mouth. No wonder nursing was so uncomfortable!
