Tuesdays with Bear

Today was Bear's 4 month check up. He is average on height and weight. His weight was taken wrong at the last appointment so this time he weighs 14 lbs and he's 26 in. long- which puts in 50 percentile in both categories. We asked about teething and this is what the Doctor said:
DR- "You see these tiny little indention's in his gums?"
ME- "Yep"
DR- "Well those are his teeth but he is not teething."
ME- "Oh so you can see his teeth but he's not teething?"
DR- "Yep"

So I am just going to assume he is teething. Which has not been bad if he is teething. He just wants to chew on everything. He is also starting to grab at everything. Plants, food, whatever is on the shelves, cats and dogs. How did you deal with animals and a crawling baby?
He started his day with a bang and now currently is in the state of boom....It's been awhile since he had a manic episode. That is what I call them. Just pissed, and I have no idea why. So gave much love and bit of alone time and now he is passed out. I love the cry decipher charts they have in all the baby books. He has a new cry of lately its this low horse throaty cry. Very soft. KB and I both feel horrible because so many times we laugh when he cries- not in a mean way. For one his mad raisin face is adorable and there is almost never any tears, just this red little faced mini-us. So we figure he got KB's awesome quiet person and he got my attitude....Great.
