Teething is the pits!!

The highlight of our day today: going to our 9 month appointment and hearing that Vincent is doing so well - he's lost some weight but they said it makes sense with his walking. The lowlight of our day today: TEETHING!!! Why does this process have to be so gosh darned painful?? We have been up most nights lately - at least once, sometimes more, trying to appease the little guy. The last tooth that seems to be the renegade tooth is his right front tooth. We will thow a coming out party for the tooth...in fact, I might even name the sucker.

We are also having to get pretty creative in order to get him to eat solids these days. He wants to feed himself plus he's not in the mood for warm stuff...so, I served him cooled super porridge and cold peas- they were a big hit last night - along with his toast, etc. Now, for those wondering what super porridge is, it is brown rice and lentils (and/or other grains+legumes) ground up and cooked into a grit-like porridge. It may sound gross, but it is actually quite tasty and he seems to really enjoy it. Sometimes I sneak in some ground sesame since it has tryptophan in it and it seems to work on him ; ) This all comes from my bible - The Super Baby Food Diet. Sounds a little over the top, but it is super easy to make and makes me feel like I don't have to get too creative to make sure he's getting the proper nutrients - especially since we aren't quite to eating meats yet. That is our next food, though...chicken...ground up chicken, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
