The Tongue - Week 17

By this time, Theo has begun to seriously explore his world and his surroundings, and his adventures (or misadventures?) are never complete unless he uses the most sensitive part of his anatomy, one that provides instant feedback and results: his tongue.

In the photo below, Theo, now 17 weeks old and wearing his first jumper and cap, proudly displays his most important exploratory tool. At this age, he can already grasp objects, and if we're not looking, any object that he can hold on automatically undergoes tongue analysis and (salivary) scrutiny. Thus, we're really keeping an eagle eye on him, making sure that no small objects are within his reach.

In the second photo below, our little bundle of cuteness shows you why he can easily melt anybody's heart.
