Dominic Gets Teeth (and other stuff)


Dominic has gotten his first tooth! Well, sort of. He has the teeniest edge of a tooth poking through his bottom gum. I think I saw another one along side of it but it's actually harder to get his mouth open and his tongue out of the way (so I can see) than I would have thought. Anyway, I'm glad to actually have some progress on that front as I was beginning to think the kid was just a drooling, sopping mess 24 hours a day for no reason.


Dominic also started using his high chair for the first time this week. He's still on the "all liquid all the time" plan but it's just nice to have him up at the table with us when we eat. He actually seems to enjoy being up that high. Here are a few pictures of him in his highchair. In the first one, he appears to really want some food. In the 2nd, he's playing with his new favorite toy--a stuffed elephant that our friend Jodi sent him.

Dominic also "talks" --nonstop. I am not kidding either. Except for a few moments right after he gets up, the kid is more or less constantly exercising his vocal chords. In fact, I am pretty sure that his open mouth in the 2 pictures above are really just because he's "talking." I did mention to get one picture where he seems to be more interested in snuggling his Dad than talking.
