Monday was a day of firsts for our little Smalliverite.
Jackson's has sprouted his first tooth. It must have made it's appearance overnight as it was not there the previous day and I would have noticed it as we are still breastfeeding and it's a sharp little one. He has been gnawing at our fingers a lot over the past week and I was wondering why he was getting a little rash around his mouth. Babies are prone to saliva rashes when teething apparently, who knew! And Mr. Fussypants has been having bouts of crankiness that are out of character for our happy-go-lucky guy. So at least now we know the reason for his mood swings. And while I am happy to know that he is developing on the dental front, I am not looking forward to upcoming nursing sessions with Jackson's chompers.
Update: One has now become two. Another incisor has poked it's way through, so now he has two bottom teeth on the rise!
Jackson had his first taste of ice cream. After a yummy dinner of Asian BBQ pork tenderloin with crisp green beans and fluffy sticky rice, we tucked into a sweet treat of Breyers ice cream. Jackson has finished all his dinner of sweet potatoes and rice cereal and was making noise for more. So Mommy shared her neapolitan flavours with her little sugar monster. His favourite one of the three seemed to be strawberry but the cold texture was nice for his aching gums. Then it was off to the bathroom for a little tooth brushing to wash away all the little sugar bugs and keep that new little tooth healthy. We try to practice at least once a day to get used to the feeling of the brush in his mouth. So far so good especially when we sing a little song to go along with the oral hygiene practice.
Jackson's first day of swim lessons. Lots of fun with so many new friends. Two weeks of splashing and learning in the local community pool. It's been a little bit of a schedule change as it is smack in the middle of morning nap time. But nothing that a little early nursing doesn't solve. Then it's right to sleep as soon as he hits the car seat on the ride home. Great for Mommy getting some early afternoon chores done!
And of course, with Jackson's first lessons came his first set of raisin wrinkly pool feet. What cute little tootsies my aqua boy has!

He's really chewing on that pool toy! What a cutie.
Fynn still has just got one tooth. I call him Chomper. He hasn't bitten me while nursing, but I'm sure that is coming.
Such cute feet! I swear those are the best parts of babies! And yay for Jackson on the teeth - Megan's showed up 2 months ago and biting really hasn't been a problem. If you haven't already, get some mum mum crackers so that Jackson can practice his chomping and eating:)
