Teething & Babbling

Teething

We think Erik is approaching another milestone...Teething. He's been making some very funny faces lately, especially when we're feeding him his dinner. Even though he likes pureed apples, Erik will squint his eyes, suck in his lips, stick out his tongue and just give us the cutest "funny" face! Daddy says that it reminds him of those beer commercials with "Bitter Beer Face". Hee hee.

Since Daddy popped out his first tooth at exactly 6 months and 1 day, we're guessing that Erik is doing that as well since he's going to be celebrating his 6 month birthday on October 9th! So maybe on the 10th, we'll be seeing Erik's first pearly white.

Babbling

Erik is also doing a lot more babbling and communications so far. He has learned new sounds like "ga ga", "ya ya", "yeah yeah", "di di", basically he's making up sounds with the letters "g", "y", "d" so far. He just started this past week so he's still practicing his babbling. And also, Daddy and Mommy claims Erik to be a definite Chinese baby....because we swear we heard "aiyah" uttered from Erik's mouth. It was just so cute!! Of course, we also heard "uh-oh" from time to time too. So adorable!!
