Grinding

Jacob has had his two front bottom teeth for a while, and now he has the two top ones in and the ones right next to them on their way.

1) It is very strange to see my little man smile with his teeth in his mouth. I never thought that would be strange, but it really is. He's had this huge smile with nothing there and all of a sudden it is a toothy smile.

2) Jacob is getting used to having teeth in his mouth by grinding them. It sounds like nails on a chalkboard and can make you cringe from across the room when he starts rubbing those teeth together. We want to get rid of this horrible racket as soon as possible, but everything seems to say it is normal. We've even taken to giving Jacob his pacifier more often than needed to pause the grinding.

6 teeth in/coming and one step closer from a baby to little boy.
