Why hello there!

Jonathan had a great time at his Aunt Liz's bridal shower this weekend. He made the rounds several times and was happy to be held, jiggled, and entertained by all the ladies there. He especially liked Joanna, who was a great sport about getting her face gnawed on and slobbered all over.

The social butterfly continued today while we were doing the grocery shopping. Jonathan was hanging out in the seat on top of the shopping cart while I looked over the meat counter. An older lady approached him and said "hello." He looked at her for a few moments and uncertainly raised his right arm, then waved and gave a tiny smile. He waved hello! I couldn't believe it. The lady was thrilled when she learned she was the recipient of his first wave.

Fussiness, tummy upset and nonstop chewing for the past few days. All the rattles have gouges on them. Hopefully this will calm down soon as one top tooth cut through yesterday and the other appears to be very close. We have held off on giving any more solids for a day or two to give his tummy a chance to settle. I may have to side with my mom instead of our beloved pediatrician on this one - I think teething does cause some, shall we say, diaper issues.
