the better to eat you with

It appears that Ben's days of finger and face nibbling are coming to an end. Chris discovered in Bible study last night that Ben has two bottom teeth (which, I might add, he did not have yesterday morning). I was hoping he would hold out for a few more months. A baby with teeth always looks less like a baby to me, and Ben's progressing so quickly in every other area that I was hoping he would at least take his time in that one. But, alas, that's not meant to be!

I'm so thankful to have kids who are not just healthy, but that literally thrive developmentally. But sometimes Chris and I can't help but wish that they at least looked and acted like babies for a little bit longer. When I think that in less than six months Ben will be walking and eating exactly what we eat and maybe even talking, I can't help but wish that time would go in slow motion for a little bit. The baby stage goes way too fast.
