i got a tooth. i got a tooth. i got a tooth. hey hey hey hey

#1: sorry about the whiny blog post on the 28th.
#2: I have so much to catch you up on from the past 2 weeks that it'll probably disappear into the "Older posts" category.

exciting news!

Max's first tooth has arrived! Isn't that fun? Right. Well, it's fun for me! Ever since he was 3 months old I kept insisting that I could see something white poking out from below his gummy gum surface so I'm so glad that it's for real this time. Plus, when your baby's so cranky it seems like the best way to save him from being classified as "high-maintenance" is to use the catch all "teething" excuse.

He may be a bit high maintenance, teeting or not. But he is still my boo bear. Ok... moving onward!

He's been working on this tooth for a long time:

As you can imagine, I've been anxious for that puppy to pop out. About a month or so ago, I was worried that his first tooth was coming out of the side of his gum, like poking into his cheek. It was a scary time where I wondered how I would disguise my vampire baby, but miraculously, it vanished! 

Success!

Only 23 more to go.

Then we get to lose them all and start from scratch!

Woo!

Now he thinks he gets real food.

(Kelby is taunting him with a potato skin. Cruel.)
