Teething, Crawling, and Eating

So Raja has been working extra hard on pushing out his first teeth this week. He's been fussy, and poopy, waking (very) often, and had a low-grade fever for a couple of days. But he still gives us that big toothless (for now) grin all the time. He is just so sweet.
One of the ways we knew he was teething was that he wants to eat our food. He grabs rice from our plates and shoves it in his mouth. He also helped himself to my ice cream the other day, which Marei caught on video (see below). He is also very eager to crawl. He just wants to move, and can scoot around pretty well with a combination of lunging forward, rolling, and sitting. It is so fun to see the absolute joy in his face when he gets to where he wants to go. We love his mad face too, when he can't go where he wants. His new name is Baby Badge, Marei being the Big Badger. Why Badger? Marei's nickname from childhood - since badgers are little and ferocious. Like our Raji-paj. I just can't get enough of my baby badge.
Here are a few moments from the last week.
