S has 16 teeth. He was a bit later to start cutting teeth and only had his bottom 2 for months. Then he started cutting teeth continuously when he was about 10 months old. Luckily for the most part he's handled teething well. I can only recall a handful of days when his teeth really bothered him. And thankfully, teething hasn't affected his sleep. Perhaps his drool-faucet offset some of the pain?

Now that he has a few molars, S has become even more interested in food. He's always liked eating foods with lots of texture but now he really relishes chewier foods and he can actually digest better.

Poor kid, he's still drooling up a storm--even when he's not teething. But when he's cutting a tooth it's as though someone has poured a glass of water down his shirt. So he still wears bibs and typically goes through at least 4 a day. Sometimes I just give up and let him run around with a soaking wet shirt.

A bib related conversation with Cora who was visiting us this summer:
Cora: You're not going to let him go out with that bib on, are you?"
Me: Changing a bib 5 times a day is a lot easier than changing his shirts that many times. I'd run out of clothes.

I wonder when the perpetual S waterfall will finally dry up. Will he be traumatized as a youth when he looks at his baby photos and sees that he's wearing a bib in most of them?
