the camel now has four teeth

Gavin's got four teeth now. The second top tooth popped through on Sunday. That happened a lot quicker than the second bottom tooth, which took two weeks and two days. This time it was only a week and a day! I feel so incredibly blessed that we have a relatively easy teether. Seriously, you'd not even know he was teething most days, apart from the drool.

Along with these new teeth, though, has come a most heinous habit: Teeth Grinding. Shudder. He clacks them together and grinds them and man, oh, man does it sound awful. This had better not become a real habit, or else I know one baby who's going to get rubber caps on his teeth real quick.

Project Banana is a rousing success. After the first few bites last night, during which he made a most confused and uncertain face, he took to the bananas like mad. This evening, he slurped up half a small banana so fast I could hardly believe it, and I think he'd have eaten more if I'd have given it to him.

We went to a park near our house today. It was a beautiful day out and Straka has been sadly lacking in attention lately, so we went someplace where I could throw a ball for her. We throw it for her in the back yard occasionally, but the yard's pretty small so she can't run much. We had a really lovely time. It was all golden and warm out, with the leaves changing all around.

Gavin really enjoyed watching the dog.

The rest of the time he ate his clothes.

If he loves the banana try apple and pear. Not quite as sweet but may still be a hit.

I will do that! I bet he'll love those!
