He now has 2 teeth! He was teething at the beginning of the New Year, and just 2 weeks ago, a tooth popped out, and just a few days after that, the second one came out. With 2 teeth (not fully out yet) he can chomp into his favorite rice crackers and can eat a little bit chunkier foods. But, he can also bite! Ouch!
We also lowered his crib mattress, because the little guy can now pull himself up all by himself! He doesn't know that he can pull himself up in his crib, but I'm sure he'll figure it out pretty quickly, so we lowered the mattress just as a precaution.
He's also crawling now. . . forwards! So that means that we have to keep an extra eye on him. Gone are the days when I can sit him on the floor in his room and expect him to stay there and play. Now that he can crawl, he's all over the place! If I take my eyes off from him for just a few minutes, he's already crawled under the table to play with the Internet wires. If it's too quiet, I know that he's getting into some sort of trouble. We meed to start setting up gates or some type of barrier to keep him from wandering all over the place.
We had this old shower curtain rod, so I thought I'd set it up in the doorway to his room/living room to see if that would keep him there. At first he thought it was great. . . another toy to play with. He'd just sit there and look at me. . . but then 10 minutes later. . .
. . . he figured out how to escape by going UNDER the bar. HMPH! I guess I'm going to have to lower the bar a bit more so he can't go under. I just hope he doesn't figure out how to go over! We're going to have to set up some real gates soon.
