Fourteen

Well, he hit the 70% mark on baby teeth: tooth #14, the lower right canine, just started poking through today. I wonder if that's why Karston slept so poorly last night? Actually, I'm pretty sure his poor sleep was due to Christmas. We started with a quiet round of opening presents at home. Karston opened presents that weren't for him while we were wrapping presents Christmas Eve, so we thought he would enjoy opening his presents Christmas Day. (No. Too boring. He wanted to sit on lap and cuddle.) However, Daddy opened a present of mint chocolate grahams with Karston on his lap, and before anyone noticed anything, Karston punched through the plastic wrap, and had a large cookie in each hand! By the time we got the cookies away from him, he had eaten one-and-a-half cookies and had taken one bite each from four more. I don't know how he did that much cookie destruction that quickly, but for a little guy, he sure can move fast! Following up chocolate cookies with a large dose of family (everyone playing with him) kept him buzzing all Christmas. He had a 30-minute nap in the car, that was it. And he still stayed up late and caused baby commotion.
