So, She Found Her Tongue

It never gets old witnessing your offspring learning and doing more each day. I love seeing Avery discover new things about herself and the world. Although, the teeth grinding has worn out it’s welcome and can stop now!

Avery’s most recent self-discovery is her tongue, and it’s obvious she has become quite fascinated with its many uses. Of course, helping to swallow food is not one of the uses she has figured out, but feeling her 5 teeth is right at the top!

Over the past few days, Going Mom and I have collected several pictures of Avery with her tongue in action. Instead of boring you with my words, I figured I’d just share some of the best tongue pics (clean minds, people!) with you here.

Hmm, now how does this camera thing work....oops, did I press something?
Hey World, I have a tongue!
So this is what it feels like between my lips and teeth. Interesting.

I'm crazy and I'm happy, but if I bite down right now, I think that would hurt.

How's my panting dog impression?

Swinging with my tongue, what a glorious day!

Hey, where'd my tongue go?

Oh, there it is! Phew!!

Do you remember your little one’s tiny self-discoveries?

How long until they became familiar with how to properly use them? Sometimes, I feel like even us adults aren’t all that sure how to fully use what we have!!

  1. Hi there! Wow, I must say that is the cutest little girl you have there. I remember when mine were in the process of discovering the sounds they were able to produce when they realized they had tongues! Oh, those were the funniest, most impossible to reproduce little sounds. It’s amazing how fats time goes by and now they’re in high school and elementary school, soon to start doing other things with those tongues. Man, if I only had a time machine.

    1. Hi RJ! Thank you for the compliment on our baby, and I definitely can’t argue with you there! 🙂

      It truly is fascinating to watch them to find out more about themselves each day. It’s comments like yours, when talking about how your kids are grown up, that remind me I need to take full advantage and enjoy each moment now. Keep hanging on to them before college comes up and hope to see you around again! Have a great day!
