Teething Stinks...but still a happy baby!

Austin has three teeth and is getting two more on top. They just popped through the gums yesterday! He's been a trooper even though I know he's been in pain. But he keeps smiling and being a happy baby most of the time.

Some recent developments:

He loves to share a toy with you and then immediately take it back. But then he'll give it to you again just to take it back again...again and again and again!

He's discovered that he can drop stuff through the slats of his crib. He loves to drop his binkies and in the morning we find them all over the floor and under his crib!

He's becoming very sensitive and partial to mommy these days. I can't get too far away or he freaks out and gets upset. It melts my heart and makes me feel so needed, but could cause some issues. (Last night I had my first "girls night out" since he was born and I had to leave him crying in grandma's arms. Sniff, sniff)

We just installed baby gates because he's quite the mover these days, not crawling, just rolling and scooting wherever he wants to go! I'm learning that babies do things on their own time when they're ready. Crawling? He don't need no stinkin' crawling!

Here's some recent photos!

A new way to sport the binkie!
Peek-a-boo under the blankie. He loves to put blankets over his head. He's done this since he was born.
Bath time fun!
