Carter has exhibited excellent teeth-growing skills. His second tooth popped out yesterday (12/10), just four days after the first. Now if only he could work on his hair-growing skills.

Now that Carter has a tooth, I decided it was time for him to have his first food. It was avocado and mommy milk, just like his big brother. And Carter was a big fan. He puts everything in his mouth, so I suspect that he will enjoy eating much more than Big Brother Riley, who practically refused solid food until he was more than 10 months old! I think Carter will be a treat to feed.

Carter’s mug has been published on his photographer’s web site… She blogged about him. So actually he’s there twice: once in utero and now on in his own cute glory. I guess it really is all about who you know.

Our generally happy boy has been extremely upset during the nights, waking several times. And yesterday (12/6) he revealed that he’s been grouchy because he’s been growing a tooth! Yup, that’s right. Our four-and-a-half-month-old boy has a tooth already. He’s trying to keep up with his brother, apparently. Riley, too, had a tooth at four-and-a-half months. Having his hands stuffed in his mouth constantly was not really a clue to us because he’s been stuffing his mouth as long as he’s had control over those little appendages.
