2 new...(technically 3)

Our little buddy got his first tooth! 2 actually, one popped through on Saturday and the other one yesterday. The bottom middle ones. He's not too fussy, gave him some tylenol twice but seems to be ok. To me the getting teeth is a tear jerking milestone. Its the end of the newborn stage, the little baby stage. I love the gummy toothless grins of babies, and their helpless cries with toothless mouths wide open. Its so sweet and innocent. My little baby is growing up, sniff sniff.

The 3rd new thing is we have some crawling action. It is the most unsophisticated crawl you've ever seen, sort of like an injured soldier throwing/puling/dragging himself through the line of fire but he is moving forward now. He puts his hands forward and pulls himself up, and then digs his feet in, one in front of the other and pushes them forward and lunges forward. Sometimes he catches himself with his hands, sometimes he ends up on his face. You can put him in one spot and he'll move about 5 feet. He gets so excited and proud; the desire to MOVE is so there. Especially when he hears my voice, or sees me across the room, then he smiles and digs in and uses every little muscle he has to get going.
