Lily isn't teething yet, but her gums are swollen so out pedi thinks she'll be getting teething around 8 or 9 months (the twins were 10-1/2 months). Since her gums are swollen a bit, she is chewing EVERYTHING! She can't eat food yet (although she does get the occasional bowl of cereal or smooshed fruit/veggie) so one day I decided to give her a stalk of celery to chew on. I knew she wouldn't break any pieces off and choke, and since it's cold I thought it would feel nice on her gums. She LOVED it! She chewed on that thing till it was soggy and I've never seen a soggy celery :-).
I think food is in her near future though. She is really interested in my food and last night actually cried b/c I wouldn't give her a bite. The pedi said when she can pick food up with two fingers vs. a fist, she can have them. Won't be too long I'm sure!
