Teeth are over rated.
Seriously. Smoothies, icecream. There are a TON of delicious foods out there that don't require teeth. Isn't pate considered a delicacy or something?

Chloe's teething.

And she's crying all.the.time. I try to do the dishes and she's right there at my knees looking pitifully up at me with big crocodile tears as she wails away.
I make her happy then sneak off to edit pictures and as soon as she notices I'm more than a yard away, she comes crawling and crying over to me. She doesn't want anything to do with baby food but she's so hungry and wants to nurse...a lot.

I was getting beyond frustrated. "The dishes don't care if you're in pain, sweetie, so shush and let me get the dang dishwasher loaded so we have some freaking FORKS for dinner tonight!"
ahem.
Sorry.
I didn't really yell. I promise.
But I did sigh really loudly. (and as all us wives know...I sigh is just as bad as yelling)

Then I looked at her and how me just holding her and dancing with her and feeding her made her feel better and I had a change of heart. My sister and I talked about priorities yesterday after church and in that moment I realized that holding my little baby takes precedence over everything. Everything.

So sorry Joel...we might not have forks for dinner tonight. Again.
