More teeth and other things
The other night I felt Yannick's lower gums and I could feel that another premolar has come through! Then I checked the other side and yes, the other one is also almost through, I could feel some hard tips there too. It's astonishing how little trouble these ones were so far compared to the ones at the top which took three months of agony to make it out. Maybe the lower ones also moved up during that time and made things even worse.
This brings us to a total of twelve teeth, only eight more to go!
Right now Yannick is actually having a great time as my sister is over. She's been out with him to the playground every morning for about an hour or a little longer and when they come back he's all powered out and ready for his nap. It's good for him that there is another German speaker around, he's been a lot livelier and likes to 'talk' to her. There are still no real words but as he's signing loads he is communicating the most important things easily. He's also taken up walking practice again and manages to walk when held with just one hand. He also makes more attempts to get from one piece of furniture to another toddling rather than crawling. So we get the odd one to two unaided steps. However, most times when I am around he wants to go up on my arm. Sigh. But it's great to see some progress!!!
