Audrey has her cake
Above, Audrey looks on in quiet amazement (or horror) as we sing "Happy Birthday" with friends. Ruth, whom you may remember from way back at the baby shower for providing expert help in unwrapping packages, was again on hand to-- you guessed it-- unwrap presents, and to assist Audrey in blowing out candles.
Audrey often hangs back in social gatherings, and our small party was no exception; she'd rather watch from our laps. But she did get out on the dance floor for some DJ-mixing table bouncing and bobbing. And cake! Yes, she had a bit of cake. Not a whole lot, but enough to rev her small engines.
And no first year would be complete without a one-year pediatrician visit. For those interested in the stats, she's still a string bean coming in at 75% on height, 10% on weight. Healthy, normal, took her shots surprisingly calmly. Dr. says we need to start brushing her teeth.
So I submit my next question to our distinguished panel out there: how in the world do you brush a baby's teeth?

Easy as 1, 2, 3. Have you ever noticed how you can't feed a baby without opening your own mouth. Same goes for slow gentle tooth brushing. Give her your toothbrush and let her brush your teeth while you brush hers. If that doesn't work, brush quickly during a little tickle time. Just make sure you're gentle and the brush is baby soft.
