baby piranha

It's dangerous sticking your finger in Zane's mouth these days... he's up to 7 teeth now!  His fourth tooth on the bottom broke through on Thursday, and it looks like the one above it is lurking just below the surface.

We think we can also now say that his first word is "bye bye."  He's been saying it off and on now for a while, and he now says it, with a wave, in response to his toys that say "bye bye" after he stops playing with them for a couple of minutes.  It's pretty cute!  He does say "mama" and "dada", but it still doesn't seem like it's associated with either of us.  He says "baby" a lot, but I think it's just a fun sound for him... I might be wrong, but it started at Christmas when his older, wiser cousin Mary (she's almost 3!) said "hi baby!" and "no baby!" to him a bunch.  I'm pretty sure I heard him trying to say "Molly" this morning while he was talking to her through the door of her crate (aka, her safe, no babies allowed space).  He's also been throwing "la la la" into his conversations too.  I'm pretty sure he's going to be talking back to us in no time... he already vigorously shakes his head no at us several times a day. :)

So... February didn't start out as kind health-wise as I had asked it to.  We got hit with a second stomach virus!  Yuck.  Zane got it first and the worst of the 3 of us, and he was home from daycare all week except for a couple hours on Tuesday morning when we thought he was doing better....  He did get to go to swing at the park with his "da-dee" while he was out of school and starting to feel a little better.  Thankfully, his appetite is coming back now finally, and the diaper situation is far improved. 

We have to get his appetite back to normal before he gets to smash his very first cake in a week!!!
