One down, lots to go!

The first tooth has broken through! It isn't visible yet but I can feel it. You are 7.5 months - same age as Lucy when she got her first tooth. Maybe that is what has been keeping you up at night; after a brief period of sleeping straight through, you've been up about 2 times a night for a week now.

I think you are also staying awake because you are excited to be moving around in your crib. We put you in the snowsuit to keep you from rolling around too much but you can still inch around. I hear you banging your helmet on the bars and squawking if you can't sleep.

And when you wake up, sometimes I hear talking first – but usually it's the *thud*, *thud* of you banging your helmet on the mattress. Funny boy. Makes me smile every time.
