More Teeth!!

Andrew came home for lunch today and was playing with Brode. He would tickle him in his arms and get him to laugh. Well, as he was doing so he notices some teeth starting to break through in his upper gums. So he calls me over and we get him to open up once more... Then we discover he not only has 1, 2, or 3 teeth but FOUR more teeth that are breaking through the surface!! Can you believe it? Our little baby is going to have SIX teeth by Christmas! I'm so thankful it didn't seem to phase him much... I mean, we didn't even notice it until today! =) Come to think of it we did notice that Brode started pulling on his ear. I've read that it's because something is bothering the baby but they don't know how to make it stop or understand why it's hurting, so they just pull on their ear! Oh, Brode Bear! You are growing up so quickly...

Other new things:

1. He has discovered his tongue, so he likes to stick it out and play with it.

2. His hair is growing long, so he gets bed head when he awakes AND his little hair is starting to curl over his ear like his daddy's.

3. He is learning how to clap!

4. He has discovered how to make noise by banging his hands on his high chair, leg, changing table, etc. So cute!

5. He continues to move all over: 360 degrees, mostly backwards, a little forwards, but still hasn't figured out how to make his legs and arms work together.  He's getting there though!
