William's First Tooth!

William's First tooth has made its grand appearance today. We have been able to see a small white cap just under the skin for weeks but today it broke threw the skin...and he knew it. He had dried blood on his bottom lip after his nap today. He has also been usually cranky and has been taking Tylenol around the clock.

If you look closely, you can see the tooth! It is like a sharp razor when he bites you!

May 21 will be his Half Birthday...
6 months old!

He has already met all of the developmental milestones for six months...

He...

- coos and babbles - sometimes it sounds like an entire conversation of unrecognizable words
- rolls over front to back as well as back to front
- will follow and look for a toy that drops out of sight
- has no head lag when he is sitting up
- holds objects and can transfer the object from hand to hand
- can reach and pick up an object in front of him
- recognizes mom, dad and Zachary
- laughs and squeals
- is eating "baby foods"...reaches for the spoon and has his mouth wide open for each bite
- constantly moves his gums around, like he is eating -- looks like he is chewing up something
- bears weight on his legs and loves standing in his Baby Einstein
- has his first tooth
- attempts to military crawl with his elbows - loves doing push-ups
- hates being on his back but loves his stomach
- moves all around his crib

He is such a joyful child and I would have a dozen more if they were just like him (and were free)!
