Alex & His Mouth

Alex got sent home from day care on Friday with a fever. Michele took him to the clinic, where they said it's nothing to worry about. I'm convinced it's his top front teeth -- there's a lump or two up there and he gets very irritated if we touch his gums. He's also refusing to sleep in his crib, preferring instead the nice warmth of our bed. Oddly enough, that lets him wake us up every hour or two for attention. Cute at first, but this gets old very fast....

Going back two weeks, we have pictures of Alex tenderizing the plastic stars from the stacking toy before chewing on them. He loves his Cheerios and chews on his toothbrush (not sure how much good it's doing!). He'll also chew on a sippy cup but hasn't tried sucking from it yet. Another favorite of his is the spoon, which he just won't put down.

More pics later, when this troublemaker gives me time to pull them from the camera.
