Smorgasbord of Dace




Before you ask, Yes- I do wash my son's face. But he is always slobbery! His little mouth is like a leaking drool tap and his nose has been a bit of a snoz fountain this week. But on average, he is clean-faced. (Just wanted to state my defense about the pics before I go into the stories...)

Our little man has been fighting a cold this week but has stayed in good spirits despite feeling like poo. His top tooth is also trying to cut through. We could feel it Wednesday and then it was gone Friday so the little in and out dance has begun. In the mean time, Dace is loving chewing on frozen blueberry bagel halves (thanks for the tip, Char!) and as of today, ice cold celery sticks. We went to lunch at Wild Wing Cafe and he was joyfully chewing on them and even got a cleaned off chicken bone at the end of our meal. He loved looking around at all the TVs and ceiling fans and started dancing when a Pink song came on. He loves to dance these days and he amazingly can keep to the beat. He just bobs up and down in his chair and sways his head. It is so cute! He is trying desperately to talk. He says "hi" every now and then and I am sure that will be the first word that he gets down pat. We are trying to get "mama" or "dada" out of him and his M's are coming along slowly. He is smiling all the time and loves exploring the front room and dining table several times a day. For some reason, he likes to play with the shoes at the front door and sometimes chews on my slippers like a little puppy dog. I guess he is loving his new teeth and just wants to keep them sharp.

We are enjoying our time with Brittany visiting. She has been here a week and will fly home on Tuesday. Her and Dace hit it off instantly and love playing together. I am sure Dace loves a new play mate and a different face other than mine every day.
