Long in the tooth
Today I was holding Adrian tipped over, so that I could nibble his belly. All of a sudden I saw his upper teeth. All FOUR of them. Not only the top front two teeth, but the ones on either side. The ones on either side just....appeared.
No wonder Adrian had so much trouble teething. He's practically got all his teeth coming in at once.
He's officially crawling. He is crawling forward fast enough to get into trouble, that's when it gets real. He crawls and then sits and looks around.
I put down a Bikram yoga mat in the living room for Adrian to play on. Bikram is the hot sweaty kind of yoga, so this mat is like a big spongy towel. Perfect for babies and all their drooly fluids. I have a basket of baby toys on the mat, so he can sit and examine them, one by one.
Now he's drunk on his own mobility. If I put him down on his yoga mat to play, he immediately beelines for the dining table and then gets caught in the forest of chair and table legs underneath. Usually he bonks his head once or twice and then starts bawling for me to come and rescue him. But then he goes straight for the table again the next time.
He's going for almost anything he can pull up on. This boy is DONE with being a baby. He's only seven months old, and he's trying to crawl, walk, and grow in all of his teeth, at the same time.
