Baby boy is now 7 months old and not one tooth has popped out of his head yet. He has been cranky, slobbery, feverish, gnawing on everything, but still no teeth. The gums are swollen, but no teeth. It's funny because he has been teething for about the last 3 months. We have all sorts of ice teethers, hard plastic teethers, soft rubber teethers, and he even uses soft terry cloths.  We use a homeopathic baby pill to keep his moods even and happy. It works pretty well.

Not having teeth hasn't slowed him down in the eating department. He eats a bit of table food and little baby cereal bites. He uses his gums to chew. He chews very well without choking. He is changing everyday. 

Today I noticed that he is darker than me. He's going to be a rich caramel color taken from his daddy. When my girls were the age he is now they were still pale white. They are lighter-skinned like me. I can't wait to see how brown his skin gets. We are moving to Florida very soon, so I anticipate spending lots of time on the beach. I am tempted to let him tan in the sun without sunblock, but I know he needs plenty of sunblock made especially for babies. I like to get the waterproof kind because the kids love the water.

This is a time when so many changes are in the air for baby boy. He's pulling up to standing in his baby bathtub, and he's getting up on his knees in preparation for crawling. I've got to get myself ready for mobility because when they start getting around that's when a parent's job gets even harder.
