First Tooth

The mystery surrounding Michael's crabbiness this week has been solved. I thought he was teething, but the crabbiness could have been attributed to being spoiled and tired from a weekend trip to Omaha to see grandma and grandpa. Everything was made clear to me this morning when I looked into his mouth and saw that his first tooth had broken through his gums. I'm not sure that David believes me as he hasn't seen it yet, but you can definitely feel the tooth. Thomas has been in a better mood, so he is either coping better or not ready to cut a tooth yet. I looked in his mouth and did not see anything. I bet it won't be too long before he is following in Michael's footsteps.

Both of the boys are discovering their voices. Michael has learned how to make a gurgling noise, it is cute until he decides do this with food in his mouth, and then food starts running out his mouth! Thomas makes this laugh that is hard to explain, it is like 'he he' but coming from way back in his throat. They both go on and on about 'da da da da,' but I can't get them to say 'ma ma' yet.
