Plural:Teeth

STOP THE PRESSES!

I just got Henry up from his nap, and while on the changing table, in good light, I discovered he has also just cut his LOWER left lateral incisor as well. I have no idea when this one cut... sometime in the past week because I know I checked there last week. I totally missed it since I was watching the top so closely.

So, now the count is up to six!

Another Tooth!

Just got the report from the Tooth Fairy. She has bestowed Henry with his fifth tooth as of yesterday or this morning. It is his top left lateral incisor. I have been watching for it as he's displayed all [his] classic signs: disrupted night time sleep for the past several nights, looser and more frequent stools (oh yeah - someday he'll thank me for sharing that with you all), and grabbing at his ears for several days. I really think it must have cut within the last 24 hours because though I could see the swollen spot in his gums about two days ago, a swipe through his mouth yesterday still did not turn up any hard enamel. Today, though, it's official - the new little pearly white is there in all its glory. Bless his heart... I hope this means we'll all resume sleeping again... except that while admiring his new addition, I think I noticed slight swelling where his top RIGHT lateral incisor will appear. ;)

A Ride in Paw-Paw's Tractor

Memorial Day we had lunch at the in-laws. Food and company were excellent, and the weather was even nice. Paw-Paw, a farmer, had been out working that morning, and came in shortly before lunch time. After we ate, he wanted to take Henry out for a ride in his big John Deere tractor. Paw-Paw, Daddy and Henry took a short tour of Highland in the big rig. Daddy said Henry kept a pretty good grip on him, but was absolutely fascinated with all he saw and heard. I think I know what that face looks like. ;)
