First Tooth (Teeth)...

Two weeks ago (June 23rd to be exact) I was playing with Colton and noticed that he had some white spots on his bottom gums. I put my fingers in there and sure enough I felt two teeth coming through! Although I’m obviously happy that my kid does in fact have teeth down in those gums, I am sad because my little baby is getting bigger. I was almost yelling at him to stop growing! To which he gave me a huge gummy (with the exception of little white specs below) grin with his hand jammed in his mouth. So at 5 ½ months, my little boy has his first tooth (but there are two of them coming at the same time, so it’s teeth). My littlest baby…my last little one :(

I think this is also a sign that I need to bite the bullet and get out the high chair and feed the kid some actual food. By the fourth, spoon feeding has definitely lost any appeal it may have had with the earlier children, and now I’m just plain dreading having to teach him how to eat and him learning about food. I don’t want him to learn about food because then when I’m eating something, he’ll want some. Right now I can eat a wonderful chocolate brownie or big bowl of ice cream and he couldn’t care less. Those days will soon be gone…

wow not one but TWO go Colton, and so young. He is just growing by leaps and bounds isn't he? Hahaha had to laugh when I read about your chocolate brownies and ice cream, yep he will want some. Once he has the taste of all the good food, watch out, you will be buying double!! Can't wait to see a pic of his lil grin w/ two beautiful teeth showing through!!!

Whoa, his first two teeth popped out at the same time? Cool. I kinda understand that you're sad about the fact that he's growing up. Well, we all grow up one day. But I think you should enjoy spoiling him a little more for now, since he's still a kid. =D
