I'm so happy that we're starting this blog! Dustin has been growing and changing so fast. In my head, I cannot imagine him any bigger, smaller, or different than he is at this moment. However, just 3 days ago I woke up in the morning to look at him, and I noticed that he was chubbier than he was the day before. Over the next few days the chubbiness wore off, presumably because he lengthened out again. It's this zig-zag, catch-up game of growing! Length, width, and girth don't all increase in unison!
So here are the current stats about Dustin:
- He loves to grab! He's starting to hold on to things.
- After grabbing, the object is starting to drift to his mouth.
- He likes trying to bite my knuckles off. This doesn't hurt. I'll explain below.
- He's been drooling more. But I bet it will increase even more.
- Rolling Over! Back time "turns" into tummy time in a jiffy!! This then results in fussing and digging his head into the blanket, and making a nice footprint of saliva and spit-up to mark his territory
- Lots of cooing, talking, and smiling.
- Jeff can really get him laughing! I heard a guffaw. It was incredible.
OK - about the knuckle biting! When he wants to suck on my knuckle, he grabs my hand with his fists, and brings it towards his mouth. Once he has a good suction, he pulls the knuckle away from his mouth, like uncorking a bottle of champagne. Then he brings it back to his mouth, and repeats. I sure am happy he doesn't have any teeth.
