Old Photos: Teething
Two years ago, Pumpkin was just about to turn one. He was getting those first four front teeth and chewing on anything he could get into his mouth. His very favorite thing to chew was watermelon rind. We'd give him a strip of rind with just a little of the red watermelon, and he would gnaw on that thing for hours if we let him. (We didn't.)
This picture was taken almost exactly two years ago.
(Handmade drool-absorbing flannel bib made by my mom, who is definitely, definitely Super Woman.)
My Butter LOVED a frozen pickle to chew on...I am not even sure how we came up with that, but I will use the usual reason. . ."old family tradition" Too cute!
Why do they have to grow up??!! My KIA is a senior in high school. . .and I am not sure how that happened, since I have not aged at all ;)

I would have never considered watermelon, wow. We had teething rings which always without fail would get lost. Very cute, it's amazing how fast they grow up.

I remember those days well. The days when my boy was somewhat manageable. Good times.
(BTW - Thanks for swinging by my side of the blog world again.)
