Julian Update

Julian is almost 9 1/2 months and getting more and more active. We have now observed him kneeling. We have also since end of February started brushing his teeth.

Recently he has begun objecting to being put in his car seat. But we're not ready to be outsmarted by a baby. So, now we bring along his favourite toys on standby in the car to distract him while we strap him in. So far so good...

After casting our votes last Saturday (8 March 2008), we went over to Butterworth on the ferry. We had wanted Julian to experience a ride on the ferry but, alas, he fell asleep!

On Sunday (9 March 2008) we noticed that Julian's third tooth had erupted! So now he has two existing ones on the lower jaw and a new one the upper jaw. He has been drooling a lot lately and has been very cranky when sleeping the last two nights. He'd just wake up and cry... must be due to teething. So we used a syringe to "bathe" his upper gums with cold water... seemed to work. Since he now has teeth on both jaws, he has started grinding his teeth (the sound makes me feel uneasy).

Hi Bart, Angie and Julian!

Wow! Times flies! And 3 teeth already!

Did I tell you that our son, Jack is now almost 7 months old?! Time is fleeting by!

Curious about your syringe act. How do you "bathe" his gums with it? And cold water is alright, he doesn't mind it?

take care!

sharon, ian & jack: Hi! Jack is 7 months old already. Yes, time flies. Regarding the syringe, it's without the needle, of course :o). We used it to "shoot" the cold water... more accurate than using a spoon. Julian didn't mind... increased his water intake too :o).
