As I told you about a month ago, Jed started really teething. My question is: Where are the teeth? We have yet to see a pearly white in his little mouth. But, finally, he has bumps on his gums. He won't let us look, but every once and a while I can get my finger in there and feel around. Maybe he'll have two (lower) front teeth for Christmas!
Saturday morning breakfasts are special at the Roll household. We always have a large breakfast and eat together. The menu usually consists of whole wheat blueberry pancakes. Last Saturday was the first Roll family breakfast that Jed got to partake in. We gave him half a blueberry pancake - no syrup of course. He didn't know what to think at first, but after passing the pancake from hand to hand, pulling it apart, clapping it and squishing it in his fists he realized that blueberry pancakes taste great!
Last Tuesday, I picked up Jed from Karen's and headed home. While we were sitting and playing I noticed that his tongue would pop out of his mouth when he was concentrating. I stuck mine tongue out at him to see if he was aware of what he was doing. And, "pop," out came his little tongue again - this time amongst lots of smiles and giggles! He has discovered his tongue!
Jed has been doing lots and lots of new things lately. One is pulling himself up on the couch, toys and mom or dad, among other things. The first time this happened was Monday, yes, 4 days ago. I put Jed on the floor so I could check on dinner. I came back to the living room and he was standing at the couch! I couldn't quite believe that our little, squirmy, fussy, helpless Jed was standing there looking at me so proudly. Tuesday night, while I was running into the other room, I saw him begin to pull himself up the hassock - so I stopped to watch. He wanted my cell phone. I now need to be more aware of where I set things down - not all objects, just the ones that only mommy and daddy are allowed to handle!

Enjoying blueberry pancakes!
A rare glimpse at the elusive tongue. Who would have thought it could be so cute!
"I think I can, I think I can . . ."
Success!
First look at our decorated and lit Christmas tree.
"Hey, the blinking things on the tree are pretty cool! I think I'll give them a round of applause."
Jed really loves his "ba ba."
