Found you on Doctor Mama and just wanted to say my son cuts 2 at a time also. He just turned 3 and is cutting ALL FOUR 3 year molars at once! Yikes!
Beautiful baby! As I read the other day about motherhood – “The days are long, but the years are short”. SO TRUE!
IMHO – Don’t turn that car seat around until 1 yr old – it’s not just weight, it’s neck and spine development too.

Well, he is less sweet at bedtimes. Then it’s a festival of snotty nosed crying and angry chewing of the crib rails. And when he tries to escape during diaper changes. And when you try to clean his face, he acts like you’re using acid and not water. So not always sweet.

“hand in the hair” ha. I meant “in the air”. Off I go to fix it.

The eyebrow raise is gone, but not the cynicism. He's still highly dubious of organized group activities, and furrows his brow in consternation while the other babies happily sit where they're put.

And no, you're not teaching him the Shocker. That's for his schoolfriends to impart.

[T]he sign for "Daddy" is now your hand in the hair.

Were I around to teach him, I wonder--just wonder--what his sign for me would be. I bet I've got a few good ones I can teach him. We bachelors have to stick together.

I love the monkey face. But I really miss the cynical eyebrow raise he had for the first few months. Is that one gone for good? And is still really that sweet all the time (besides the obvious exceptions)? For a bachelor roommate who had no desire to live with a child of any age, I sure do miss him a lot. I'll see you guys later today, I guess. :)
