Someone's Gonna Get a Tooth Soon

So I was playing with this fella earlier today and I noticed that a spot in his gums looked whiter than it had before (the day before actually, since I check his gums almost every day).  Anyway, so I decided to try to take a picture of his gums- well it ended up being several pictures because he just wouldn't stop sticking out his tongue. Surprisingly, he lay there pretty calmly as I poked at his mouth trying to get the perfect shot. I was quite impressed. 

Well, the first attempt, didn't work out quite the way I was hoping.

"Oh mom, I can put my own fingers in my mouth".

I just love the way he looks in this one. I just love this boy.

I'll tried a different approach- same results.

I love this boy.

Maybe if I could get him to smile, he'd show his gums.

Still no luck.

Getting closer!

Better!

Almost there!

Finally!! See the the left, that little knobby gum- see how white it is under the gum- it's gotta pop out soon, right?

I know it's a lot of pictures of one subject, but I just had so much fun taking these pictures of this baby boy. I have been practicing more with my camera lately and I've learned all kinds of things! It's so exciting. I can't wait to learn more about editing.
