The baby's first tooth is still making its way up and his second tooth broke through today.
It's been tricky to see when it happened as he salivates a lot and moves his lips and mouth in such a way that you can't keep it open enough to see. But while at Manuel & Paz's new house, I got a quick look and saw the second tooth broke through.
It's been difficult for him to initially fall asleep the past three nights. Now we know, at least in part if not all, why.
All four of us sharing a room hasn't been as terrible or difficult as I had imagined. The baby wakes up 2-3 times a night and gets up anywhere from 5-6.30am. Same as at home. Carolina has been sleeping through his bits of crying and wakes up about 6.30-7am, which is later than at home, since she's missing naps and going to bed later. Playing with her cousin has been a surprising highlight. They're getting along famously and both behaving better than we expected.
The baby is chatting more and with more sounds. I think he's trying to speak Spanish, too. I remember Carolina doing this when we'd visit. She'd make more and different noises. The baby has started to make a sound that sounds a lot like "Carolina". It's more like "Cah-lena" in baby -- so not defined sounds. But that's what it sounds like. Man, he adores his sister. I think she wants to eat him up sometimes with how strongly she hugs him. It's lovely they get along.
We're now planning on getting him on a regular bottle schedule when we return and will put him in Carolina's room shortly. Within 2-3 months he should be totally on a bottle with formula and in Carolina's room. So says the PM in my head. Let's see what reality says...
