No doctor visit again this month, we don't go back until he is a year old.
All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth...
and so he got! They came in just a day before his very first Christmas. He now has 4 little pearly whites peeking out at us. In his stocking was a new little tooth brush just for the occasion. He just loves having his little teeth cleaned and I'm sure the feeling of the brush rubbing on his gums.
He is an eating machine still, and we have been able to add some big people food to his routine as well. He loves snacking on the little puffs, Num Num's, small pieces of chicken, and whatever else we can give him from our plates. He is not picky at all, at least yet!
He pulls himself up on anything he can reach even if this means that it's not stable enough to hold him up, like his ride on toys or Olivia's shopping cart. poor kid took a tumble on that one. He got his first head wound when he tried to stand holding on to her shopping cart and it tipped over and he hit his head right on the edge of the door. He was fine, a little bottle and boo boo Elmo cold pack later he was good as new.
The good thing is he is figuring this whole standing thing out and I have been told by many that he will be in the middle of the floor and just stand up holding onto nothing. I have yet to see it, sad face! I know it's coming though. He is just so much more of a cautious soul then Olivia-the-jumps-head-first-into-everything!
He has learned a few new things like clapping, shaking his head no, waging his finger at you (we say 'no no no' while we do the same), and he can sign 'more'! Our smart little man. He still can only say Mama or sometimes it is Mommy and Dada. He would much rather speak in his little language.
His sleeping is a little off since he has between the teething and growth spurts. During those times he wakes several times at night in pain or hungry. Unfortunately not during those times he still wake usually once at night. I think he gets to off his normal schedule and it's hard to get back to it. The good thing is this one loves his bed and room. He happily sits in his crib when he wakes up and talks to himself or plays with whatever is in there. I have gone in on many occasions to find the bumper untied and in the middle of the bed.
He is so lucky to have a big sister that wants to play with him and just loves on him although one day he may hate that I let her dress him up with her jewelry. But for now he loves it and so do I.
