Cotton Mouth

"Cotton mouth" is something I occasionally get in the middle of a soccer or basketball games when I'm dehydrated and tired out. I've even gotten it before giving my closing argument at a jury trial. If you don't know the feeling, it is like your salivary glands turn into miniature Shop-vacs that dry your mouth out completely. Your tongue is difficult to separate from your teeth and the sides of your mouth. It's horrible.

Siena experienced her first case of cotton mouth on Sunday evening. Justin Smith held her for the first time and she immediately latched on to his well-developed pectoral muscles, which were covered with his thin, cotton t-shirt. This clip captures the tail-end of the wannabe nursing sesh... it was hilarious... but maybe you just had to be there:



We had a great time with our Bible study group tonight... looking into what the Bible says about giving. In the spirit of giving, we allowed others to hold Siena a little bit. Among the first-time holders was Siena's Uncle Richie:

Ni-night.
