First Tooth!

Monday I noticed a little something starting to come to the surface on Hunter's bottom gum and over the past couple of days it has gotten closer and closer to poking through. Today you can definitely feel the top of it and it is sharp! It is also easily visible, that is, when he will let you put your fingers in his mouth to try to see it..most of the time he spits my finger out. :) He's handled teething pretty well, although you can tell that it is bothering him during the night. He's back to waking up every 2-3 hours but hopefully that will pass once his tooth is fully in. I did get a pic of him with an open mouth last night and you can just barely see it if the pic is zoomed in on his mouth. Just in time for Thanksgiving dinner!

He loves his butternut squash. I mixed it with apples one day and he loved that as well. We've started the Gerber puffs, which are very similar to Cheerios except that they melt in your mouth. At first he wasn't too sure of them but now he can't get enough. He's trying to pick them up on his own but they're too small for his little fingers to grasp just yet. I also picked up some Baby Mum-Mum's yesterday and he's doing great feeding himself with those! These are like rice teether biscuits. Here is some video from lunch today.

He's working hard at that pincer grasp. More Mum-Mums, please!:)
