Usdate

So I thought it might be time for an update on us.  An usdate, if you will.  Well actually you don’t have a choice.  So…

CALLUM has TWO TEETH!  Ok so maybe not two whole teeth, but two that are poking through the gums, growing up into teeth.  We were completely shocked, as he’s the first in his little playgroup to get teeth, and so - unlike other developmental milestones - I wasn’t anxiously anticipating the day his tooth would arrive.  He just jammed my hand in his mouth, as usual, and I felt it!  I said, “Hold on a second!  Can I please feel that?”  He didn’t respond, so I took that as a “Sure, go ahead,” and lo and behold - tooth!  The other tooth started growing about 2 days later.  Once they’re big enough to be easily visible, we’ll obviously take pictures and post them up here.  

He’s also eating two meals of rice cereal every day, and I think we’re going to branch out into green vegetables this weekend.  I read that if you start with yummy sweet things, they don’t like the veggies later, so we’re starting with veggies.  I’m fine with this idea in theory, but at least the rice cereal is white, so when Callum grabs it from me and launches it across the room, the mess isn’t too bad.  I’m going to have to cordon off everything within a 6-food radius of the little dude when GREEN things come into play.  

Speaking of mess, he has also started to figure out that if he kicks around in the bath, Mommy gets wet.  He doesn’t completely get it yet, but I noticed a spark of recognition there yesterday. . . this could be trouble.  Hey - at least it gives me another excuse to wear bummy clothes.  Other than the usual no job, my clothes are still on the boat, new mom type stuff.

So that’s Callum.  Andy & I . . . are boring, so I guess this is really more of a Callumpdate.  Sorry.
