Our Little Vampire

From Nicholas - Month 7

This picture reveals two important things:

1) both of his vampire teeth (I think they are technically called canines, but "vampire teeth" is much more fun) have now cut through the gum

2) he was a much happier baby today.

It has been a rough week and a half with all the shots and teething and rash, but today he finally seemed to be feeling like himself. And the rash is looking dramatically better. Not completely gone, but a big improvement. And he was in a good mood--smiley and agreeable most of the day. He very patiently helped me get some Christmas shopping done and we had a lot of good playtime (including a marathon rolling session, where he rolled to his left 7 or 8 times in succession and then when he reached the edge of the living room started rolling back and forth in place--the very end of this hilarity is on film in the gallery)
