[blparent] latching on?

Wed Feb 10 00:28:01 UTC 2010

Hi,

yeah he eats like a horse, anything and everything.  lol  I started him on 
serial about 4 months and now he eats lots.  He's not picky at all thank 
goodness, and he's much less messy then his brother was at his age.  We 
still have to do a bath basically after every meal but he loves his baths so 
it's never a problem.  He only has a couple of teeth, his bottom ones, and 
he's just getting his top ones now.  I was worried for a while because it 
took ages for him to get teeth, but now he seems to be geting them all at 
once.  I don't know which is better, all at once, or a couple at a time, but 
I feel so sorry for him right now with this cold and now his teeth too. 
Poor little guy!  At least it will all be over for his birthday so he can 
eat chocolate cake!
