Teething and laughter…

“Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was, that they escaped teething."
-Mark Twain

James has officially joined the millions of Americans that have teeth.  He has one that cut through and we can already see the next one working its way out.  We tried to get a picture of it to put on the blog, but he’s too squirmy.  So instead of pictures of a tooth, here’s pictures of him enjoying Nala’s company.  That’s just as good, right?

We’re doing what we can to help that second tooth come out, and so far his favorite thing to chew on is apple slices.  He doesn’t care much for bananas, which was Ashlyn’s favorite fruit, but he’ll chew on pretty much anything else.  We’re hoping that the second tooth will work its way out in the next few days, because we can only go so long without sleep.

I was able to get better pictures this weekend of Ashlyn at gymnastics.  You can see that she’s doing great on her own and the beam is no longer the enigma that it once was.  Go Ashlyn, go!

Since we have been spending most of our time with a fussy baby and trying to find sleep where we can, we haven’t been taking as many pictures as usual.  So in lieu of more pictures, here’s a properly censored video of Ashlyn cracking James up in the bath.  Nobody can make James laugh like Ashlyn.
