Chompers



Harrison's first two teeth came in, at the same time about a week ago.  I keep hearing all of these stories from people whose kids go to bed toothless one night and just wake up with teeth...or sometime in the afternoon miraculously pop new teeth!  

Well, Harrison's teeth have been taking their sweet time and the process seems to go on forever.  First I saw what looked like teeth under his gums a few weeks ago, then a little bit of white poking through shortly after that, then what looks like half a tooth a while later...currently the teeth seem to be almost up but it's like they still need a few days to finish or something.  It's so bizarre, the whole growing teeth situation.  Harrison kind of plays with his teeth, touching his fingers to them and rolling his tongue over them constantly.  He is definitely chewing food more and doing pretty well with little bits of table food (and of course Cheerios and Gerber sweet potato flavored puffs) but unfortunately today he also learned to bite his mom while nursing - HARD!  Not chewing, a serious bite.  

I think right this second I am less impressed with this milestone!
