Mateus has a tooth!

Mateus has his first tooth!  Joe discovered it yesterday.  He's been mouthing anything and everything for weeks no so we knew it was bound to appear sooner rather than later.
He's had a great week with his oatmeal cereal (we switched from the rice cereal) and he now "sits" for meals like a big boy and grunts and sputters cereal everywhere throughout the whole eating process.  Thank goodness he has such a nice selection of clothing for this age as between the cereal messes and new kind of poopy diapers, he rotates outfits often.
The nice weather this week has allowed them to get outside at daycare for walks and watching the big kids play.  We've been told that Mateus and his friend Fletcher hold hands during the walks but that sometimes Mateus isn't such a big fan of this social interaction and will instead try to eat Fletcher's hand.  And we wonder how germs get passed around!
Mateus also now has figured out how to move his legs in jumper.  Here he is getting his morning exercise.....

And a few more out takes from the week.....
