On Sunday evening, I noticed Gabe was fussier than usual, and he kept reaching into his mouth and crying. So I decided to check it out, and there it was...a tooth on the front, bottom right! He'd cut it after my mother-in-law checked him the day before! ALRIGHT! WAY TO GO, SON!! *proud parent grin*I knew he was getting ready to cut those teeth because of the buckets of drool we've been dealing with lately. I just didn't think he was going to do it just yet. Technically he's only 4 months old because he was born a month early.
But this seems to follow the general theme. This kid wants to do everything early. The same evening, he was lying on his back in the crib and managed to flip about 75% of the way over onto his stomach.
You know, crawling isn't far off from that moment either. :-\
And then the walking starts shortly after that.
But I'm not ready! He needs to stay little a good while longer! This is happening WAY too fast for me. I'm proud, yet I'm sad at the same time. It's like when Zeke started cutting his teeth. It was cute and all, but I knew I was going to miss that gummy grin of his. And now Gabe's on his way. What's a girl to do? Keep on having babies??
Someone actually said something along those lines the other day. What they actually told me is they'd heard when a baby develops quickly, they're making room for the next one. I honestly can say I'm not quite ready for that yet, but we'll see. I just want my little man to stay little. He's so cuddley and snuggly right now. Then he's going to grow up like his brother. *sigh!*
I guess I'm freaking out just a teeny bit here. Next thing he'll be cruising around the living room, and then a minute later, he'll be cruising around town with his learner's permit. WOAH!
Guess we could always try the "keep making babies" thing. LOL
