Mobility and Choppers

I know that I’m a bad dad for not putting anything up in the past couple weeks, but I haven’t had a lot of time lately to write much.

Peter is now a full-time crawler. While it’s a good development, he is now excelling at doing it, which makes him able to cover 30 feet or so of floor in 15-20 seconds. I practically feel a breeze at my ankles whenever he goes past.

He also has his top two front teeth about to poke through his gums. Teething hasn’t been too much of a problem for him so far, but he has shows signs of irritability the past couple days that aren’t like him. He also has been making faces due to him playing with his tongue and smacking his lips while the teeth come through.

We’ve also been giving him little food items at meal time that he can put in his mouth on his own, like little mushy carrot bits, little mushy banana bits, and a few Gerber Graduates here and there. I’m not positive what the percentage is of things that actually make it into his mouth (as opposed to just being stuck on his palm, or smooshed into his hair, or smeared out on the tray of his highchair) but I’d guess it’s around 33% on a good day.
