Yes, that tiny little white line by his lip is a tooth. It seemed to be visible one day, and broke through the next. He’s also getting the one next to it as well. He really didn’t want to cooperate for a photo though. So, two top teeth coming in, but that bottom one remains the same as it has been for the past 2 1/2 months–a white dot.

By the looks of things, he’s going to look pretty cute with teeth too, so I’m excited. But, not so excited about feeding him. That won’t be so much fun.

Last Tuesday he was so patriotic. He exercised his right to rally, and he voted. Well, I did those things, but he was there, so it’s kind of the same thing.

This week he’s also discovered more of the apartment and now enjoys climbing up on things. He doesn’t usually pull himself to standing, but can if he wants to. One of his favorite things is the book shelf. He loves playing with things on the bottom shelf. He climbs up in his crib now too, so we need to lower it again.

I bought him a plate so we could introduce more than one food for dinner, and not eat from the jar. It also has lots of colors and teaches red, green and yellow in Spanish, English and French. He wanted to show it off. I think he’s pretty excited.

I’ve made him some home made baby food because it’s cheaper than the store-bought variety. I’ve made green beans, peas, carrots, pears and apples for him. Strangely enough, he likes the store kind better! I have to mix mine with the other so he’ll eat it. This is last night with the green beans. He loves them otherwise. Oh, and the orange dot is from his other food. He likes to move around, and that’s where the spoon landed.

This is the moving..he lifts himself up and back. Silly kid.

He’s also eating bread now, and rice. He used to have a really hard time getting the food to his mouth because it would end up in his fist and not come out, but he’s getting better at using his fingers and more and more food is actually making it into his mouth. It’s interesting how they seem not to get it, then all of a sudden it clicks and they can do something. In the past few weeks he’s just taken off and does so much more, and has figured out so many things. It’s really fun to watch.
