I have gotten out of hte habit of posting since I was away, and it’s been hard to pick it back up now that I am back. Jack’s been teething like crazy, and has been really pretty demanding for the last few weeks. He’s making giant leaps forward in terms of his abilities, and while we were in Nashville, he figured out how to sign “more” and “water”. Learnign how to say “more” isn’t as helpful as you would think, since it introduces a whole new set of problems, mainly revolving around my attempts to interpret what it is he wants more of. He uses it to say he wants more kisses, more raspberries on the stomach, more food, and more food-other-than-what-i’ve-got-on-my-plate. And sometimes, when he want ssomething unspecified, he’ll use that sign and I am left scratchign my head over how to appease him.
He’s also gotten his first front tooth, so now we don’t call him Fang as much. I wish the other 4 or so that are beginning to display their first bulbous beginnings won’t take too long. I am not sure how much more freakish yelling I can take before going completely insane. I actually cried yesterday because he just kept pinching me all day long, completely absent-mindedly. Nevertheless, I am constantly in awe of our little boy and how fast he is growing and learning. I feel very humbled to know that he’s ours.
OK, I need to run off and get some things accomplished while Mr. Crankypants is napping that I have been putting off… crap. He just took the shortest nap ever.
