Tooth number three came today. It has been hurting for a while but now Mum and Dad can see it. It is at the top right under my nose. It feels really big in my mouth. And I think there are two more teeth on either side of it that will come out soon.

I have got another tooth to go with my first tooth! It is right beside the first one in the bottom front right of my mouth. I am glad that it came because now my mouth looks more even and I can smile and look cute instead of looking funny. Actually the teeth are pretty small so nobody sees them unless they tickle me and I laugh and open my mouth. Dad does this a lot. And I am going to visit my Nana soon and I bet she will tickle me even more. I hope she likes my teeth.
I have a tooth now, just like Jay and Mum and Dad. It’s in the bottom of my mouth at the front on the left. It feels funny and I like to stick my tongue out so I can feel the tooth. I also like to bite hard on a toy and then pull it out of my mouth: ping!
I think another tooth is coming very very soon.
I have been eating more different kinds of food in the last few weeks. Mum made a special trip to the organic supermarket and has made me all sorts of purées: asparagus, cauliflower, silver beet, sweet potato, pumpkin and rosemary and even apricot chicken! It all seems quite interesting and is good for throwing around. But I’m more interested in what everyone else is eating. And of course if I’m hungry I just want my yummy mummy’s milk.
Two nights ago I was asleep and funny things were happening and there was a spider web. I was scared and cried and Dad came in to see me. I told him that I was hurt with the spider web. He gave me a hug and tucked me into bed again and I went back to sleep. He said maybe I was having a nightmare.
Then last night I was sleeping when Felix woke up and cried in the middle of the night. He woke me up too and Dad came in and tucked us both back in and we went back to sleep. But then my pyjamas went all funny and I cried for Dad to come back. I told him that my pyjama pants were running away. He checked them for me and said they were OK. Then I felt all right and I went back to sleep. This must have been another nightmare.
When Felix wakes up in the night and cries, sometimes I say It’s all right Felix to him and he calms down and stops crying. Maybe Felix has nightmares too and that’s why he wakes up. Poor Felix.
Today I ate some food for the first time. Mum and Dad and Jay eat food every day but I always drink milk straight from Mum. But tonight Mum put some food in a bowl and I ate it from a spoon. It tasted nice like Mum’s milk but it was thick and funny to swallow. I was hungry so I ate it but it wasn’t as good as milk. The best thing about it was the spoon which was nice and chewy.
I had a sore bottom because my nappy was wet so I asked Dad to help.
Jay got sore bottom. Daddy kiss it better!
Dad was very kind to me and hugged me and changed my nappy. But he didn’t kiss it better. Sometimes if I hurt my hand I kiss it better myself. But I can’t reach my bottom. Lucky for me that it got better anyway.
I am 90 centimetres tall now and I weigh about 14.5 kilograms. Dad says that some people think that a two-year-old boy will become twice as tall when he grows up. This means that I will be 180 centimetres tall when I am an adult.
I hope this is not true because then I will still be shorter than Dad!
When I was born I had a tongue tie. My tongue was stuck to the bottom of my mouth. Mum says that it is common for a newborn baby like me to have a tongue tie but it usually goes away after a while. Mum didn’t even know about mine until a nurse noticed it when I was about 6 weeks old.
My tongue tie was making it hard for me to eat. When Mum was feeding me it was hard to get my head in the right place so I could swallow the milk. Also, the tongue tie could make it hard for me to learn to talk. So when Mum found out about the tongue tie she took me to a doctor to fix it.
It was easy to fix the tongue tie. The doctor just cut the piece of skin that attached my tongue to my mouth. It was very quick and it only hurt a little bit. Mum was there so I didn’t cry very much. And since then it has been easier to eat!
Ouch! For weeks I have had big painful lumps in my mouth. Sometimes they are OK but sometimes they hurt and make me cry. I have to get medicine from Mum to make it better.
But a few days ago the lumps started turning into teeth! Now I have four big new teeth called molars. There might even be more than four. It’s hard to see. Anyway they are great for eating steak and carrots and lots of other yummy food.
There are still some spaces in my mouth where maybe other teeth could go. I wonder when they will come. I hope they don’t hurt as much.
