Proof

If this picture isn't evidence enough of Will's new teeth, his crib surely is. Will apparently is a "crib chewer." We prefer to call him "baby beaver", but either way, this boy started widdling away at his crib. There are scratch marks and even areas when you can see the natural wood underneath. So, now his crib is covered with blankies... tied on by some ribbon. Initially, I saw the scratch marks and assumed I had some time to "research" what to do in this situation. Then after his next nap, we saw the newly exposed natural wood and came up with our homemade solution. No research needed.

Will got a tooth!

At 8 months and 1 day, Will got his first tooth. He had been teething for months - we have gone through LOTS of tylenol and teething tablets. There were nights of rocking him while he chewed and chomped until the tylenol kicked in. However, the entire week before the tooth there was no teething. I guess I didnt expect this, and so i was a little surprised when he chewed on my finger to feel something sharp and little... the tiny little tooth making its way on the bottom left. He does seem to like it as he can more easily keep things in his mouth while he is crawling.

Will is crawling like a champ these days. He has a funny crawl where his leg is off to the side and he pushes off with his foot (the picture in this post was taken mid-crawl). Here is a video of him making his way down the hallway. He just keeps getting more and more fun!
