G has developed a new trick. When I hold her, she grabs my face with both hands and leans in as though she is going to give me a kiss. I bet you’re all thinking ‘Ahhh, bless’. Er, not quite.
At the very last second she opens her mouth and bites down on whatever facial feature she can reach with the intention of having a good chew. So far she has had a go at my nose and chin.
Thankfully she is still a gummer (yes, they are still toothless) and doesn’t do any real damage but it HURTS! She caught me unawares the first couple of times but now I know to pull away. I wonder why she does it? I suspect that she has teething pains and just wants something to gnaw on. That, or she’s mimicking what we do when we lean in to kiss her but gets it a bit wrong at the end.
I may see if I can get a muzzle because she’s going to be lethal when the elusive teeth finally make an appearance…
