no teeth

Caleb is 10 months old and still does not have any teeth. He is a good little eater though and eats most things put in front of him - and a lot of things that aren't including carpet fluff and other goodies that he picks up if we don't notice. He had an unpleasant experience a couple of weeks ago when he picked up some bits of orange rind off the floor at a friend's and it was rolling around his mouth for quite some time - in fact it was not noticed until I got him home and was doing the nappy change - I had been wondering why he was a bit grumpy...

Just for the record, Caleb finally was able to sit up without falling over at 8 months. Apparently this is quite normal but Eden began to sit up at 5 months so I have been impatient. They are so much happier when they are not stuck on their backs or tummies and instead can see everything (which makes Mum happier too because they can be set down instead of having to be carried all the time). Also, just for the record, Caleb crawled for the first time last Tuesday - and now it is all on of course!

The bath time interactions between Caleb and Eden are quite funny. If there is a new item in the bath tub like an empty shampoo bottle or a toothbrush (other than the myriad of normal bath toys) Caleb is desperate to have it. He will be reaching for it to the point of falling face first into the water. Depending on what it is Eden may or not care about it - that is until he sees that Caleb has it - then he immediately wants it. Eden gets a marble in the jar if he shares nicely with Caleb in the bath. Ahem.
