Teething joys!

We've not been blogging much lately due to sickness and technical issues which prevented us from using the techology. The giardia is gone now, but yesterday and today Jonathan has had his first real fever illness. I guess that is his prize for turning 10 months old yesterday. I don't think it's anything serious but please do pray for his safe and timely recovery!

Our technology issues continue, but for the moment I have blog access so I'm going to post some fun things while I can!

TEETHING!
Would you believe Jonathan has SIX teeth now! So now we are brushing teeth every night.

The first night I decided to let him try on his own first.
Uhm, okay so he's not a genius yet. He's been learning a lot of new skills lately, like crawling and standing, which accounts for the bruises on his head here. Since these pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago he's learned how to fall mostly on his behind instead of his head -- quite an improvement.
So for about a week, he LOVED getting his teeth brushed at night. Sigh, a week of ease. Now he's not so fond of the ritual and will only submit if Daddy does it singing silly songs. Did you know that the BEST teething toy is a flip flop sandal? Dave and I have house sandals for inside. Jonathan was constantly finding them to chew on, which is kind of icky. So I finally bought him his own pair -- they have many rubbery, spongy, textured surfaces perfect for teething on! I'm tempted to give this as a baby gift next time I'm invited to a shower!
