Yes, she has lots of them.  She now has six teeth and boy, they are sharp!  As a nursing mother, I can tell you this firsthand.  The top four have just recently cut through the gums.  She had the usual drooling and diaper rash.  They are cute and she knows how to use them.  She loves Cheerios and other kid-friendly crackers.

 

This, however, has really changed her look, at least in our eyes.  She was this gummy little baby and now she is this child with teeth.  She is getting bigger and I know that is inevitable.  She lunges for real people food at every chance that she gets.  Tonight at the dinner table, I was shocked to see that she can stand upright and reach her little fingers up to just barely get a grip on the top of the dining table.  Wow!  We have so much craziness (and fun) to look forward to.

 

Now, if you add these sharp teeth to the pinchy little fingers that occasionally have sharp fingernails, then she is a lethal combination.  Andrew told me the other day that ‘Natalie has claws like Alex the Lion’ - from Madagascar (the cartoon movie).  (That was my cue to cut those nails.)
