Check out those pearly whites.

Today Anne-Kelly went to the pediatric dentist for the first time. The whole office was gussied up like Falls Park on the Reedy (local downtown park) and was really adorable. There was an actual tree and grass carpet for kids to play on in the waiting room. Anne-Kelly loved it.

After being called back to an ice-cream-shop-themed room, they cleaned her teeth and checked them out. She cried a little, but I was overall very proud of her. They deemed her teeth "perfect" and told us to come back in six months. After the hard part, she got to pick out a bouncy ball (she chose pink) and a sticker (Mickey Mouse, of course). Here's a photo of her playing in the waiting room:

A trail of destruction in her wake

Anne-Kelly has recently become infatuated with taking stuff out of drawers, cabinets, etc. Here's a photo of her disassembling her sippy cup drawer. Note the cute bed head, as well :).

A new era

I'm hoping that today will begin a new era for my long overlooked family blog. Forgive me, readers, for leaving you hanging so long. This post is actually just a test - I'm trying out some software on my new iPhone, hooray! Yes, alas, I broke down and got a new one when my contract needed renewing. There are so many positives to having one as a mommy. First of which is the ability to document and share the life of this precious 16-month-old. So here's to a new start for the McDaris family blog. Cheers!
