The mouth still seems to be a favored tool for exploration… or it’s part of the teething thing. In any case, watch your fingers when you handle the boy.
Data roaming is delicious!
A list of more things the boy has tried putting in his mouth:
- TV remote control
- Amazon Fire TV remote
- Remote starter for car
- Toy fake remote control
- Cell phone
- Toy fake cell phone
- Teddy bear larger than him
- Inflatable rubber ball larger than him
- Pak ‘n Play
- His socks (while on feet)
- His socks (while off feet)
- My nose
- His mother’s nose
- His grandmother’s nose
- The dog’s ear
- Steering wheel (he was not driving at the time)
Needless to say, we try to keep him from putting anything filthy or suspicious into his mouth. As he gets more mobile, more grabby, more curious about everything, the more we are becoming vigilant.
Protip: Don’t wait until the kid can stand before baby-proofing. These babies are smarter than you think.
Cheers!
