We've got a tooth!

PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE OF THE TOOTH SO THAT YOU CAN SEE IT IN A DIFFERENT WINDOW SINCE THE BLOG CUTS OUT THE TOOTH.

Well, Caleb does. FINALLY!! After starting to teeth since he was three months old, finally, at 7 months there's a tooth. I was changing him last Thursday, i believe, and i was doing my usual silly dance and making faces at him when i noticed something white in his mouth. He was laughing (cuz i'm so funny at 6am) and i noticed it. So of course i tried to see it closer but he only stuck his tongue out and wouldn't let me. So i decided to be funny again and there it was. A TOOTH!!! It had just broken through the gum. He already looked cuter than he had 5 minutes before when i thought he didn't have a tooth. It all makes sense now. All those fevers and various infections the weekend before. They were pushing his tooth through. So now here's this tooth. A sign that he's becoming an actual person and is faster and faster leaving his baby-dom behind. How sad and amazing at the same time.

Another sign that he'll soon be off to college? He's standing. Still doesn't crawl but he stands. Why? Why is that ok? He's completely overlooking a very important milestone in his development and just cruising onto something that's just going to help him leave me quicker. Yes, this is about me. I'm going to use this blog to also work through my issues with Caleb growing up. Hope you can still stay with me.

Oh yeah, and he's also clapping like a madman. First thing he does in the morning when i go get him from his crib, after he gives me a big smile of course, is clap. While i'm changing him? Claps. While i'm feeding him? Claps. Usually while the spoon is in his mouth and then the cereal goes everywhere. You get my point. He claps. All you really need to do is say YAYYYYYYYYY and he'll clap. It's so satisfactory.

So, a tooth, clapping, and standing. When he starts walking i'm going to need therapy. Enjoy the pictures.
