Raina has her first tooth. Or rather the sproutlings of her first tooth. We think she is experiencing discomfort and she aggressively chomps down on things. Raina has discovered the fun in shaking her head back and forth. It's like seeing a possessed stevie wonder. She only does it when she is excited or possibly trying to maintain her balance. Raina toots a lot when she is on her belly. She lifts her head and a fart comes forth. This is a repeatable ability. How she restocks her gas supplies is unknown, for she appears to have limitless amounts. Raina sat in a high chair for the first time a couple of days ago, as well as going to her first halloween party (at day care). She was dressed as a baby because her parents are big clueless slackers.

The bee is her official favorite toy, it is excellent for chewing and grabbing, her two favorite activities. Raina got a lot of hand me down toys, including a decent phone shaped rattle that she enjoys shaking. She also recently acquired 4 cat jingly ball toys. She likes to hold them and jingle them. Disturbingly enough Raina's head shaking episodes did not occur until she first started playing with the cat toys, which makes us wonder, what does catnip do to babies?
