Update on Chance's tooth! It's gone. It had been a little white nub for weeks and then Friday we pulled his lip down to see it and his tooth had sunk back down into his gum. I've read that this isn't uncommon. So I guess we'll have to wait a little longer for his first tooth to officially come in. He is always making new noises and now smacks his lips and makes a very breathy laugh a lot. He is getting so good at tummy time, I can see him trying to crawl. His brain knows he wants to go forward but when he tries to move him body forward it just won't go yet. He is a very happy baby and is almost always smile at someone or something. These are pictures of him under his play mat making faces for the camera. The smile in the first one is his new smile most of the time his mouth isn't open at all he just straightens his lips out and it makes his cheeks look so pinchable. He also rolls both ways very well now so he can move around by rolling. His hair doesn't look as red as it used to and since he rolls around in his crib now his little bald spot is starting to fill in with new hairs. He is eating less formula now and two "solid" meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. We have moved on from just rice cereal. Now he eats rice cereal with bananas as well as green beans, sweet potatos and this week we started peas. Now that he is getting the vegies he won't eat just the plain rice cereal but he loves all the vegies we have tried so far. He eats them and opens his mouth for more. Personally the green beans are the nastiest thing I have ever tasted but he loves them. I have been introducing a new food per week and so far he has liked them all.

You are so lucky! Kate was such a trying baby, I always wondered why people had more than one kid. Chance is everything I wished for when I was going through hell. Of course, now that she's 22 those days don't seem bad at all!
