Phal Phal, Ek Phal, Do Phal

Chiku has been giving false alarms about teething for a few months. He would grab anything in sight, favourite is D's fingers.He would be in such a tearing hurry and urgency to put the stuff in his mouth and hold it between his gums and press hard. We saw and we said, yeah he is teething. But could see no teeth. In the meantim,D was getting frustrated being his teething ring, a false one at that.

A few weeks back we asked B to check if he is teething, as he has completed ten months. She felt his lower gums and immediately said, yes two are coming out any minute. Hence it was few days back, D said she can feel his teeth when the spoon hits the still embedded teeth and making a 'clang' sound. So we were waiting for the d day. Yesterday D said lower two front teeth have made their debut today morning. I wanted to be in the first show when chiku was on googletalk. But try as I might could not see them.So at a correct moment when he opened his mouth wide, D took a snap, which showed his two teeth shining and eager to come out. It is on my desktop now and I keep coming back to look at it even as I am posting this blog.

It is a coincidence that exactly when his teeth have made a debut appearance, he is also able to stand up on his own and remain standing for a good length of time. He sits down after a while, not because I guess he is not able to stand without support any longer, but because he is not seeing any point in standing, when he is not able to be mobile. So he gets down and crawls and picks up stuff and is happy fooling around.

I hear that the upper teeth are waiting in the wings,D can spot a whitening of the gums.

Waiting for the day when he will be a real Bunny!

Chiku the foodie that he is, will be eagerly waiting to actually be able to  bite and enjoy adult food!
