Teeth, Grapes and Push Toys

So, just a little Owen update.

1) He is finally has his FIRST TOOTH! Friday morning he and I were playing and I spotted it--just a little millimeter of a white line peeking out from his gums, on the top! (Most babies get their first teeth a lot sooner...and they usually get the bottom first; but we know Owen likes to do things his own way on his terms, so we're not surprised!) Luckily, the other top tooth looks like it won't be far behind, so he won't be a "snaggle tooth" for long. I'll get a photo, asap.

He's been pretty fussy the last few days (b/c of his tooth?...we've been waiting to blame fussiness on teething for 11 months)...he's not sleeping well, and he's not eating well. Pretty much the only thing that he wanted today was grapes. The boy LOVES grapes; about as much as Kyle loves ice cream, which should put things in perspective for those of you who have been to our house after dinner...

"You looking at ME?"

"I LOVE my push toys! I LOVE being in the grass! I love everything!"
Owen's appetite for repetition is enormous when it comes to going up and down our little "hallway" with his push toys. (Uncle Alex asked if they were like an old person's walker...yes, but more colorful and you can ride them when you get older.) His waddle is not unlike my walk when I was 9 months pregnant with him...especially interesting from behind. Just another sign that walking for real won't be that far away...now when he crawls, he often does it on one knee and one foot--that definitely needs a name.
