Not one but two

I should have guessed this since all of his other teeth have come in pairs, but I didn't. Conrad is getting both of his upper first molars. The second one has started to break through. Still no sign of his lateral incisors on the left side. Maybe he will catchup on those. In case inquiring minds want to know about the estimated eruption of baby teeth, enjoy the one above. I even shaded it for illustration. The dark gray is teeth Conrad already has in. The light gray molars are in progress.

Baby Molar

Starting Wednesday, Conrad cried when eating his snack with Dad and again at dinnertime. Since he already has 6 chompers and we haven't seen any new teeth in a while, I figured he must be teething. So I went digging--- only to have Conrad bite down on my finger making it difficult to see if any new teeth were poking through. I didn't find any.

His crying continued yesterday so I tried again....and low and behold his 1st baby molar is breaking through on the top, right side! The first time, I didn't go back far enough because I thhought it was the lateral incisors on his left side not a molar. It has already broken through but I'm not sure if it is completely through since the stinker insisted on biting down on my finger. Dad says he will be eating steak in no time!

So he now has all four central incisors. The right top & bottom lateral incisors and a baby molar on the right side. I guess he favors his right side since the left side has yet to produce any teeth. Conrad is great about brushing his teeth every night, but you guessed it, he bites down on finger brush every night too!

Bugged out

When all else fails, give Conrad your sunglasses. If you need him to stop wiggling to get his diaper back on, give him your sunglasses. He really thinks he's cool when he's trying on your sunglasses.

However, he has become quite a prow at taking them off so you need to be quick when trying to get a picture.

I used Picnik to alter this cute picture of him in my shades.

Happy 1st Birthday

We're a bit late getting these posted. Thanks to all of our friends and family who joined us in celebrating this milestone. I'm sure nobody will soon forget our crazy kid putting out his first bday candle with his hand. Who does that?!?!? Conrad does.

Don't worry, he didn't even get a burn. I think the hot wax hurt him and I quickly peeled it off. As the pictures indicate, he was not deterred by the bumpy start.

Special thanks to my sister for her amazing job in creating Conrad's giant jungle cupcake and all the cute cuppy-cakes! Hey Cupake has nothing on this girl.
