TEETH

New developments in Baby Nick's life include the arrival of teeth. The two bottom teeth, which broke through the gums last month, are now both poking out and are about halfway grown in. Nick enjoys using his new teeth to experience the world, which unfortunately includes fingers and noses in addition to toys and food. We are working on encouraging Nick not to bite us.

The advent of teeth has encouraged the introduction of a wealth of new foods, including meats and pastas. Nick seems to enjoy everything we feed him with the exception of bananas. Peaches remain an all-time favorite. He is also experimenting with finger foods, which is fun. He is able to grab little cereal puffs between thumb and forefinger, and successfully maneuvers them into his mouth. He also now can throw puffs to the ground when he is frustrated or finished eating. The dog appreciates this new habit.
