Put your foot in your mouth

My first two teeth which recently erupted have finally become more prominent. My parents are delighted with this new development and I have been rewarded with various kinds teethers, all of which can be cooled and served for my teething pleasure.

The latest teether mom has gotten me is one shaped like a foot. This gives new meaning to the cliche' "I've put my foot in my mouth", simply because I do have to put my foot in my mouth to soothe my itching gums and teeth. I think my parents get a kick out of having me put my foot in my mouth just to teach me valuable lessons in life like - you sometimes DO put your foot in your mouth KNOWINGLY.

With my latest skills of grasping and letting go, I have begun to see what cause and effect means. If I grab everything in the bed (toys, toilet paper holder, diaper, etc..) then that will get my parents' attention. Cause - my ability to hold anything and everything - and Effect - fear in my parent's eyes that I might ingest something dirty or small enough that I might choke on it. Well, I do enjoy watching them try to grab everything ahead of me. :)

I think for now I will have to settle putting my foot (teether) in my mouth, its cold and rubbery and enjoyable to chomp on.
