Two Expressive Teeth

Baby displays her two bottom teeth in such a way as to radiate love, hope, and jolliness, forming a mask of conscious delight around a pair of unlikely pivots. I should learn to express so much feeling, mouthful of teeth that I have. Today, she enjoyed her first pureed pear fruit. Though she grimaced as if she’d eaten straight lemon juice, she liked it well enough to open her mouth hungrily for her second bite – and her third, seventh, and twelfth, too. She alternated grimaces and satisfied smiles throughout her meal, an athlete of the palate like her mom and dad.
