Teeth!

John Clarke is officially the owner of 2 itty bitty baby teeth. We first saw them a couple weeks ago, and they are totally out now. He had a couple rough days, but it really wasn't all the bad. John Clarke is quite the trooper. And, boy, are those babies sharp!

He's learning a bunch of new sounds - 'dadada' has been in his repertoire for a while now, and we've recently mastered 'bababa'. And there's the occasional 'ma' and 'wa' sounds. No, my baby can't talk, but it sure is fun listening him make other noises than the grunts and growls we've been hearing for months. And, he can sound like an indian! Pat my hand over his mouth, and he just starts a-singin!

John Clarke hasn't quite broken the 20 lb mark, but he's very, very close. I think he's decided that since he's packed on the pounds so well so far, he's going to take a break and slow things down for a while.
