Everything Tastes Like Chicken

Everyone says that when Caleb starts teething he will drool excessively and try to suck or chew on anything in reaching distance. According to the doctor he is not teething yet, but that hasn't stopped him from drooling and sucking on anything and everything he can get his little hands on.

So now your thinking, "Surely he can't suck on everything!" Well lets see, he enjoys the taste of (1) plastic, (2) cardboard, (3) skin and hair, (4) cotton, (5) metal, and (6) trees. His favorite flavors being...remote controls, cell phones, books, his fingers, your fingers, my fingers, his toes - yes his toes, daddy's arm, mommy's face, plastic toys, cotton toys, all toys, stuffed animals, socks, shoes, clothes, pillows, blankets, bottles, paper - all paper - he especially loves the paper they put down on the exam table in the doctors office, zippers, hair, the sides of tables and chairs, and his lower lip.






So far it seems the only things Caleb will not suck, or tolerate anywhere near his mouth, is a pacifier - any pacifier. I assure you we've tried.

So, here's to hoping this is just a passing phase and one day soon we can pick up something in the house without it being covered in baby saliva.
