I got back to work after getting the braces off and had a message from The Scoot that said T had two bottom teeth coming in. I was shocked! Apparently, T yawned and showed off two tiny teeth, just peeking through the gums. I saw them myself when we met for lunch. T showed off his teeth and I showed off mine - covered in a clear plastic retainer instead of silver metal brackets.
Do teeth usually sneak up on parents like this? His, not mine!
June 15, 2011 - Teething or runny nose? Either way, he's going to eat that rag.
I don't know if the teeth have anything to do with it since they are so tiny and not very useful yet, but T has been very interested in solids this week. He's feeding himself well and trying lots of new things. It's exciting to see how his dexterity improves almost daily. He's become quite skilled at picking up small slippery fruits and putting them in his mouth. He was sick for a few weeks, and he doesn't take much interest in solids when he isn't feeling well. I suppose any discomfort from the teeth coming through could have been masked by his cold, but he really is a good natured boy - even when he's ill. He's eating so well that we've replaced one bottle feeding with a solid meal at day care ... Yay! That means we only have to take three bottles instead of four. That's especially good news because I had to start supplementing this month. We made it almost seven months without supplementing.
