First tooth!

I swear for the past few months that Ryder has been teething. And last week I noticed two pronounced bumps on his bottom gums. And then this morning his cheeks were especially red and hot and he just acted very disinterested in almost all activities. Not fussy, but just not as happy as usual. Well this afternoon we figured out why: he finally cut through his very first tooth! It's his bottom right tooth and we can tell that his bottom front left tooth is not far behind. Poor buddy! He didn't even really act that upset over it--what a good boy :)

I actually got kinda sad....he's growing up so fast! He can sit up on his own for longer periods of time. Only with fast movements does he take a tumble now. Also, he has learned that if he shakes toys, they make noise. It's so cute, he does this really slow up and down arm movement with toys in his hand and gets excited when they make noise. Oh, and one other thing that has progressed is his eating of baby food. Before he wouldn't eat more than two bites before rejecting all baby food from the jar. He HAD to have it mixed with rice cereal to eat it. Not anymore! Now he eats everything (I think he's storing it all in his cheeks....). I also slipped him a few teeny crumbs of banana bread yesterday and he was going nuts he loved it so much! I'm sure that's not the appropriate thing to be feeding him, but whatever.

Anyways, well back to work tonight. This whole work thing is over-rated.
