Break on through . . .

Apparently I've used this title before - it popped up as an auto complete. I think the last time I was asking Toots to break through my water and be born. This time it refers to his teeth - yes I said teeth!

At 19 weeks Grandma felt a tooth cutting through, the next morning it had brought a friend!




















They're just barely showing, but you can feel them. Hopefully that explains the few bad nights of sleep.

On another note we went to the doctor for Toot's 4 month. His head is 17 inches, he is 27 1/4 inches tall (100%), and weights 18.4 pounds (95%). He's wearing 6-12 month clothing and his favorite thing is standing. The shots and teeth have had him running a fever off and on. Poor thing woke up this morning with a 102.5 fever, but he was still smiling!

We've really seen his motor skills improve the past few weeks. He's enjoying toys more - especially the exersaucer (The Office). He takes his play very seriously. He even has an exersaucer at Mimi and Poppy's too (The Branch Office).

We've added oatmeal to the eating schedule and will add one new food every 3 days until we've worked through veggies and fruits. We had been feeding him in his rocker in the living room - but as soon as we add in food with color I think we'll be moving into the kitchen!

Last Sunday we took Toots Geocashing for the first time. We hit several different sites and found all but one. You can see he was enthralled. We stopped that morning and got a hiking backpack for him - the soft sided carrier just wasn't cutting it anymore. This works much better and I even took him for a walk with both dogs this week.
