He is the sweetest baby I have ever had the opportunity to know.
He just turned 5 months old, and got his first tooth about 1 1/2 months ago. That’s right, at 3 1/2 months, he had his first tooth. At the moment, he had 2 well formed tooth buds, able to bite his mommy.
He doesn’t sit up yet, though that is coming, but he babbles on, and on for 3 or 4 minutes at a time. (In the presence of his mommy.) His face lights up when we come into their room, and start talking to him. It is such a highlight of our day, I can’t tell you.
Here he is tonight.
Liz was holding him on her chest this evening, and they were both having such a great time; each laughing at the other. I called out to him, by his name, and he turned to look at me as if I was in the room. Of course, everything I say to him is in English, so, hopefully, he will be the first bilingual person in the families.
One more funny photo, then, I’m out.
Liz is trying to get him to take a pacifier, so Ivan bought him this one. He hates it. But it gets a laugh from each of us when he uses it for a second.
Stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
