Milestones!!!

Well, our baby is now 4 months and 3 weeks. He will be 5 months on June 7. I can't believe how fast time has flown by!! I also cannot believe what I found this morning (with the help of a friend).

Inside our sweet baby's mouth was a small, white, pokey, brand spankin new....

TOOTH!!!!!

That's right, my friends, our baby cut his first tooth today. Or last night. Or this morning. I'm not sure exactly when. But it definitely explains all the drooling, constant chewing, constant fingers in mouth, lots of weird fussiness for no apparent reason, bouts of screaming when hungry then refusing to eat, and everything else that has been out of the norm the past few days. We've suspected he's been teething for a few weeks, but that it just hadn't popped through yet. Well, today it did. I can't believe it!!!

Other fun things he's doing:
-rolling over like crazy. Every time he's on his tummy he rolls over. Fast.
-trying to roll from his back to his tummy
-moving around like crazy laying on his back (he can almost spin himself in a 360 on his back in his playyard thing)
-spins perpendicular to the position I lay him down in his crib
-has learned how to blow raspberries and spit with his lips and tongue. Especially fun when eating rice cereal!
-eats rice cereal like crazy.
-grabs faces, hair, and anything he can possibly reach.
-can go to sleep unswaddled
-has figured out to arch his back and press his legs out to stand when he doesn't want to sit
-went in the pool for the first time on May 30

Life is so fun with a baby! We sure love him. :-)
