The tale of two teeth, and then another two, and then...

In the midst of all the stuff we have going on, Benjamin finally cut his first two teeth! With the top two looking like they might grace us with their presence at any moment -- PLEASE PLEASE -- the prospect of these teeth joining us in the real world also suggests he might start sleeping through the night once again.

He's got this really cute toothless grin going, where he scrunches up his nose & eyes and pushes out his little lower jaw so you can see these two little rice grains poking up through the gum. Make no mistake, one of Matt's ancestors was a piranha, because those little teeth are sharp! He's been biting everything in sight, including fingers, chins, noses, and his sister's hair -- oh, yeah, she loves that. Whenever he tries that, she pulls away and says, "You're not nice, you're a bad BOOOY, you need a time out!" To which he replies with the aforementioned goofy toothless grin. She protests at that, but this is the same girl who will lean in and offer him her hair to pull on if he's upset about something and she doesn't know what to do to help him out. They're really beginning to become devoted to each other, and it's really sweet to see.
