Eddie has been sleeping poorly the last several nights--this time because he is cutting a tooth--or so we thought. Today, our nanny, Nina asked if I knew he was cutting teeth. I proudly said that I did. She then said, 'No, no, I think he's cutting *two* teeth'. 'Really?" So we spent the next couple minutes trying to get him to let us stick a finger in his mouth or pry it open far enough to see. I finally got a finger in long enough to determine that yes, he is cutting two teeth at once.
Technically one tooth is just a little further out than the other. They have both broken the surface. This would explain why he's been sleeping so poorly and had a waterfall of drool coming from his mouth. I've actually seen kids drool worse, but for Eddie, its a lot.
And, Eddie is crawling--real crawling. Not in the traditional on all fours crawl--although he can now stay for prolonged periods of time on all fours, rocking back and forth, teasing us--but he crawls kind of like a marine under razor wire. He is definitely moving around. You place a toy within his viewshed and he gets himself over to the toy pretty quickly.
He's also expanded his palette and his parents have gotten more bold with feeding their own food (when it happens to be mushy). He had refried beans when we went out to dinner and applesauce from mom's dish. We've also started making him more blender baby food--cabbage, green beans (from our garden), and corn.
The above picture is from our walk (4+ miles) with g'ma and g'pa Wisc.
