Chew Time

Rylan is at the age where he wants his hands on everything in sight. And man oh man is he quick! I was holding him on my lap in church the other day and as I reached for the program he grabbed it out of my hands quicker than I could react. And what does he do with it once he's got his death grip on the object? It's in his mouth in no time flat! No wonder kids are always sick. I set Rylan down on the living room floor and left him for literally two minutes. When I came back he had rolled across the room and had Matt's dirty shoe in his mouth. Nasty! Some of his favorite things to chew on: His own hands and feet, socks, paper, wet washcloth from bath time and feeding spoons. Do you notice a trend? None of these objects are actually intended to chew on. Who would have thought Rylan would rather chew on a sock than an actual chew toy. Whatever makes him happy is fine by me (as long as its not a shoe).
