Rats?

No Rats, just an Everett.

Our little guy is having the best time using his teeth these days, all two of them.
Nothing goes unscathed; here are some of his latest "chews"...
Books:
(chew marks - top right)


(chew marks above the "C" and "I")


Dropper bottles:
We allowed Everett to hold a Tylenol and Mylecon bottle (two seperate occassions), during diaper changes; it seems giving him something to hold distracts him from flipping over. And i know what you're thinking...:"How about a toy?" Well, I've tried toys and they just don't keep him interested.
As you can see, he works really fast and pretty good at leaving his signature marks. We've moved on to a much larger dropper (with no paper labels or meds inside).


Food boxes:
Not even two minutes after putting this box in our grocery basket, Ev had chewed the top of the box. We had to tape the top closed at checkout.



Mail:
Everett received a Valentines Day card from his aunt Mary and uncle Fred today; he was so excited!

He examines closely...


just a little taste....


Yes, those are tears in his eyes, I had to take the chewed envelope away from him.




30 seconds later...
Thanks aunt Mary and uncle Fred for the sweet card, as you can see, Everett LOVED it. :)

I'm not sure if this is a phase....gosh, i hope so. I just hope he doesn't move towards biting/eating flesh. EEK!

i can safely say Ev is not alone!! My boys also love to chew everything in sight. Ethan's favorite is the edge of the wooden coffee table. It makes a horrible grinding noise..... Benny loves paper, he makes a bee line for the mail and any newspaper in sight. In about 10 seconds he's got a nice chunk in his mouth!
Teething sure is troublesome!
