Firsts!!!

Oh my goodness...our TINY little baby is growing up way too quickly for me! He's not even that tiny anymore - he's in the 92nd percentile and weighs in at almost 18lbs (and he's not even 5 months old yet!) Anyway, David and I always like to rub his bottom gum and make it squeak, and today when I was rubbing it I felt a tiny little rough bump - it is his first tooth already! It's exciting and sad all at the same time. It sure is fun to be a mom and to watch my baby grow though, I just hope that he doesn't learn how to bite anytime soon...youch!

We had another first last week when it snowed, we went and played outside and even went sledding. I thought it was pretty fun, but Tay kept a straight face the whole time, no laughing, but no crying either.

He is learning so quickly, I can even tell a difference day to day in his ability to grab onto things, he's getting much better and reaching straight for an object, clamping on to it with his little fingers, and shoving it straight into his mouth-haha! What a cutie!

His fingers are also strong enough now to push the keys down on the piano so that they play...so we've been having some fun listening to him "compose" lately.

Cute video. Looks like he'll be a mover once he begins to crawl! Enjoy your quiet moments. Life with a baby will really change once he's mobile. But every stage is filled with fun. It's hard to pick an age that is my favorite.

A tooth already? That's crazy! I dread the day that Eddie gets his first teeth. I imagine that will make nursing quite unpleasant.
Isn't it amazing how fast they grow up? I can't believe he is almost 18 pounds at not even 5 months. Dallin is only a couple pounds more at almost 18 months:) I liked the little video. So were you able to go sledding in the backyard? It sounds like you are having so much fun with him!
What a cutie Heather! Love the video. I cannot believe he is 18 pounds...Caden is not even 14. Haha, it's so funny how diffenet each baby is.
He is so cute! Wow, he is a big kid! Ethan only weighs 4 pounds more than him and is 16 months old!
