Six Teeth and Crawling!

Titan broke two new teeth yesterday! (April 27, 08) Now he has four on top and two on bottom. He has been showing the normal teething signs - being cranky, not eating as much, pulling his ears, etc. I am glad they are now in because he is normally such an easy, happy little guy.

He is also working on his crawling. It only takes him 5 seconds to move across the room to get to toy now. He is not actually "crawling" yet. The floors here in Italy are all hard wood or marble- no carpet. So all he really has to do is just pull himself across the floor on his belly. He is getting to where he wants to go, just not lifting his belly up off the floor to do it. Sometimes he looks like he is doing the "inchworm" crawl and sometimes he does the "army" crawl and other times he looks like he is doing the butterfly stroke. All of them are especially cute!

The past few days have been pretty nice weather wise. I took Titan outside to play in the front yard a couple of times. Both times the neighbor kid, Ivan,came over and played with Titan. The first time Titan had a blast with him and the second time he barely noticed that Ivan was there. Ivan's dog, Reghina, also came over. Titan liked to watch her but she did not get close enough to Titan for him to actually touch her. Titan loves dogs! He squeals and smiles every time Rocky walks into view. Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner and they brought their two Chow/Lab mixes. Titan loved them. He made funny faces when they licked his face. In a couple weeks we will be dog-sitting those two dogs, so I am glad that Titan and they got along so well.

Here are a couple clips of Titan "Crawling"
