Our little one is officially growing. These past few days I kept noticing Davide chewing on things and really biting. In fact I was even a little afraid of feeding him. It's funny cause it feels like he's been teething since he was about four months old. It would come in stages. Some days he would slobber a lot and be fussy, and then it would go for a while. Then two months ago I thought that I could feel something pushing, but since he s my first baby I really didn't know if that was the case. Then a couple of days ago I started noticing that Davide's gums felt a little sharper, but whenever he would bite on my finger I wouldn't notice it anymore.
Today though the day has finally arrived. Davide kept being slightly fussy , an he kept slobbering and trying to eat my hand. Finally I was able to look inside his mouth when I noticed not one, but two little teeth barely coming through. The one On my right was a little bit farther out. I could also feel that his top gum was a little sharp, but I couldn't quite see anything yet.
Poor little Davide. He has definitely been really tough throughout all this.
He definitely does not like ti have people open his mouth. Even when I try and feed him he'll push the spoon away with his hand, and he'll wiggle his head real fast saying no. Even when u was trying ti see his tooth I had to make him laugh to see inside his mouth or I have to touch the top part of his lip or his chin. That somehow is a reflex for Davide to open his cute mouth.
Now my baby is officially not my baby anymore. He s now a growing baby!!! He'll always be my tiny one though

Standing up for women
What a day today!!! I went to my cake decorating class today for the second time when something really unpleasant happened. I had been looking forward to this class all week. I knew it was going to be a little hard today because I was going to have to bring my baby, but I was excited to go and since it's a small class with all women I figured it would be a lot of fun.
Well things didn't turn out as well. I came into the classroom a little late because I got locked out of my hotel room etc, etc. I noticed how the teacher looked a little annoyed but I was just trying to ignore her since I didn't think she was really nice since day one. I started doing some things, and she kept picking on me complaining for not bringing one thing, or looking weird at me when I had a question. Finally she pulls me out of the classroom and takes me somewhere else on the back to tell me that she did not like that I was bringing my baby to the classroom.
That made me super mad. I got on her case big time. I told her how unfair society is. That women are absolutely not being recognized for what they do. I told her that I looked forward all week just to come, and that at 6 p.m. I was not gonna find a day care, nor can I afford one. Signing up for this class only required money, and my husband right now works from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. I told her that this is my thing where I wanna go and unwind.

The baby hadn't even done anything. I was there and I told her that I was assuming full responsibility for him, and that even if maybe I couldn't do as much with the baby I was there to learn her tips and then go home and practice.
She told me the other moms were there to unwind from their kids too. I asked her if they had mentioned that the baby bothered them but she said she didn't know. So obviously it was all her!!! The funny part is that when I was in the class all the women kept smiling at the baby and kept asking me questions about him. No one seemed unhappy but her.
She told me that she was afraid he would be loud and no one would hear her. But then she recognized that this is a classroom of 4 so that wouldn't be the problem.
I told her I wanted to quit on the spot and that I wanted a refund. I told her that that was embarrassing. I had taken this same class in Utah and when I brought my baby the teacher offered to hold him the entire time. We even had a conversation on how lots of women that teach are really non tolerant about kids in the classroom, but that some women have been wonderful about it and offered some help to these moms rather than making their life harder.
So my teacher finally kinda got the point but said that most likely she won't be able to give me a refund.

I went back to class after taking five minutes to breathe and cry it all out. When I went back though I wasn't in the mood for decorating cakes anymore. I no longer felt welcome either. Plus Davide fell and started crying. I think him falling and crying all happened just because I wasn't feeling well and he perceived everything that happened. So I waited outside until class was over and then grabbed my stuff and left. I whispered to my baby to never let anyone tell him he is an inconvenience.
Now I was thinking of trying and bother a friend to watch him for the next few weeks since I would hate to quit my only true hobby, or I was trying to see if I should protest and try and get a refund just to prove my point to society.
What do you think I should do?
P.S. I signed up at a local gym only because they offer free baby day care while you work out. Not even in Utah I have found such a thing : )

Texas Lately
Hurricane Alex last week left some traces here our town. It rained for days, making lots of small lakes overflow. It didn't really hit me how bad it was until I went out on Friday afternoon. That's when we decided ti go grab some extra food in case we would be stranded for a couple of days. Since we are staying at a hotel out supplies have been minimum lately. It kept raining all the way until Sunday when we went out and saw the damage. It wasn't anything major but a lot of the roads had to be closed and some homes got some water in. Our local park is now covered in water so we won't be able to go on walks for a while.
Besides that we are safe and though the beautiful sunny days aren't back, at least is not raining anymore.
We had a strange 4th of July because of that. Seeing the damages In the city made me rather sad, and a lot of the fireworks shows had ti be cancelled. I didn't mind it as much, I think I was more sad for those who lost their cars and belongings due to this minor flood.
