It's wonderful to hear, LabRat. Keep being consistent with the times she bites you and I imagine that will be short-lived as well.

Also, make sure you document these times now, so that when she's old enough you can tell her boyfriend all about it and embarass her.

Good job! At this point, she's only biting with teeth. Just wait till she starts using biting sarcasm.

Oh, and not that it matters, but the reason I won't have kids: hearing even the slightest scream or screech out of one and I have the overwhelming, instinctual urge to back-hand the little twerp across the room. I restrain myself.

I do ask to be seated away from small children in restaurants, when I have the option.
