and another one

...and another tooth made its appearance yesterday--the other top front tooth. I think Leo just wants to get all of his teeth at once.

I think I heard him say "truck" this morning (but it was hard to tell around the pacifier)--he was looking at his toy truck at the time.

One of his new favorite games is "race" or "chase"--where I pretend to race him into another room or to chase him (usually by running at him though, not behind him). Many giggles ensue. The scooter continues to be a favorite, and he is experimenting with getting on and off by himself.

Teeths!

Leo has decided that he would like to acquire his teeth in an entirely random pattern. As our baby-reference book puts it "most babies get their teeth by the book, but some follow their own drummer". I don't even know if Leo is following the drummer or some other part of the orchestra! He has gotten these teeth in the following order: the two bottom front teeth, one top front tooth and the neighboring tooth to the side, one bottom tooth adjacent to the front teeth, and one bottom bicuspid. We thought he was getting the other top front tooth and its neighbor a while ago, but no progress on those yet. Boy were we surprised when we saw the bicuspid last night!
