Kevin has 3 new teeth, all uppers, dropping down right now, even as I type. One has broken through and is roughly 1/8th of an inch long. The other 2 are just breaking through. Oddly enough, the top front right tooth broke through first and then the 2nd upper right started and then the 2nd upper left started. So just the frontmost top left tooth is not budging.
Before teeth, both boys were quick to flash a big old smile. Now that they have teeth....forget about it. Lots of grins and smiles but NO teeth. Good luck prying their lips apart. Of course, this means capturing a photo is nearly impossible so bear with me when viewing the photos.
Here's Kevin with his new smile:
"Cheeeeeeeeeeese!"
Some day, he'll have a great big smile w/a mouthful of teeth. This is how we imagine it might look.
Getting a picture of either boy with a big ol' toothy grin is like getting a photo of Sasquatch or the Dover Demon. But, I'll keep trying. Keep checking back.
In Jason news.....he has said "Mama". Several times in fact. Kevin has too. I might not have reported it to you because we're not sure it means to them what it means to us. Kevin uses "mama" when he's in his crib crying and wants out. Jason uses "mama" when he has a temper tantrum. Last Thursday Jason decided he didn't want dinner, he didn't want to be in his high chair and a bottle of formula was ALL he wanted. He pounded his fist on his high chair tray and yelled "MAMA!" at the top of his lungs. Joe thinks they mean me when they say it and he counts it as a "first word". I kind of suspect that "mama" means "ARG!" or "GRR".
Still, it's nice to hear it.
