Sonic, on the occasion of her first birthday. Note, please, that her mouth is ALWAYS in this position. When she cries, when she laughs, when she sleeps, when she talks, when she walks, when she crawls. The only time her mouth is CLOSED, ironically, is when she eats. She takes in these humongous mouthfuls of food, and you're thinking, "ain't no way she can eat all that with her six and a half teeth," but then there she is, daintily chewing with her mouth closed until every last bit of food is gummed and gnawed into oblivion. Then she's screaming at you for more. Jeez.
