Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!

This is the latest phrase that causes Lukas to go into fits of uncontrollably laughter. I can say it while he's eating, or while we're giving him a bath, or while we're playing, and each time, he just laughs and laughs and laughs to the point of hiccups. I have no idea where he first heard it, but I said it for the first time to him on Saturday and got the wonderful reaction from him, and since then, every time I say it, he dissolves into laughter.

On another note, it looks like he's getting teeth on the top.... but I'm not sure they're the ones he's supposed to be getting! He got his first pair (2 at the same time) on the bottom when he was a couple days shy of 8 months, and he's not 10 months 1 week and still no other teeth. Well, this weekend I was able to pry into his upper [swollen] gums, only to find the outline of 2 teeth and a dot of white, on the top. Except, instead of being the top 2 central incisors, it looks like he's getting the top 2 lateral incisors first! Go figure my son would be one to go against the "rules"! :) They still haven't broken through, and today I thought I caught a glimpse of a 3rd possible tooth, one of the top central incisors. So maybe, just maybe, this munchkin's going to get all 4 top teeth at one time! OUCH! No wonder his sleep was all disturbed.

On that topic, he's been back to sleeping through the night - phew! We had a few weeks of very limited sleep where we felt we had a newborn on our hands again. But no, he's sleeping again thankfully! We also installed his new, big-boy car seat in our car and he rode in it for the first time yesterday when we went to Tropical Park. My, what a hot but beautiful day it was yesterday for a park outing. We went to scope out the party pavilions for his 1st birthday, and we ended up walking half the park. There were two Mickey Mouse Clubhouse parties, and Lukas had a blast looking at so many Mickeys. He kept kicking his legs, flailing his arms, pointing and saying "uh - uh - uh" in his excitement. He LOVES Mickey Mouse! It's so cute. We're definitely doing a mickey mouse themed 1st birthday.
