The Joys of Teething...

Well, folks, I was officially 8 months old yesterday, and I suppose the only thing I have to say about that is that it HURTS! My teeth, or the things that are apparently supposed to "sprout" into teeth, hurt so badly that Mommy and Daddy had to break down and get me something to help with the pain. Luckily, Mommy's friend Miss Trisha (my online friend, Zoey's, mommy) recommended Hyland's teething tablets. They help me feel okay enough to get some sleep, thank goodness! And Mommy and Daddy let me try chewing on some frozen mango today, which felt pretty good. Usually all I can do is find the nearest thing that will fit in my mouth and CHOMP down - usually that's my own hand, but my blocks work pretty well, too.



















































I couldn't decide which color block was better to chew on... so I tried
all three!





















As you can see, teething is NOT fun. It does NOT make me happy.

Anyway, things have been pretty busy around here otherwise. I got to spend some more time with my cousin, TJ - he's still too little to play with me yet, but Daddy says someday he'll grow big enough to come over and play. I can't wait! I'm also still practicing being up on my hands and knees, but it's really hard work, so my practice sessions are pretty short. Mommy and Daddy took some videos of my practice, just in case I get the hang of it - then they can get it on film and post it up here! So... stay tuned, because it won't be long!


Until then, here's hoping there's some sunshine to break up this rainy April!
