We think the boy is about ready to start teething. I don't know why really, call it one of those parental hunches, spurred on by the fact the boy is dribbling like some sort of inebriated drunk staring at a hog roast.
I think there must be gallons a minute coming from his chops. He is now getting through at least 10 bibs a day, in fact he gets through that many they even have their own little hand washing schedule, we just cant machine wash them all in time.
Every picture I take, requires several re-posings because they all have little strings of baby dribble running from mouth to floor.
Its now dangerous to lift him above your head. I have had baby spit drop onto my face more times than I care to count now. It happens in slow motion, and 9/10 the dribble finds its way into your own mouth, even though it was miles away before it fell.
In addition to the homing drool, he is ramming his whole fist into his mouth. Its kind of like watching that Anaconda eat the bloke in the snake proof suit, except my son is braver and actually goes through with it.
So yeah, I think its safe to say hes about to start teething.
In fact a lot of things are happening really fast. We have this toy for JJ which is like a mini musical center that he sits in. It has a big piano, glitter ball and "Record Deck" that when you do different things, like spin the big glitter ball, or pull the record players arm, sings out a lovely tune about counting up to three or your "ABC"s or other such balls.
JJ is 6 months old and a few weeks ago he would just sit in it, not doing much, he now spins the ball. Did you hear me? he actually spins it. On his own. Voluntarily.
If you are a parent you will understand the little stupid things you get excited about and this is one of them. He also loves playing with the record player, which requires a "pull". He does that too. The kid's a genius, absolute genius. Mozart, watch out.

Lastly I think we are truly on the cusp of something great. JJ now has a firm grasp on the "Head up, knees down, whilst on belly" position. Solid as a little rock.
He positions his little legs and pushes into thin air at the moment, but that doesn't deter him. He has figured out that he can grasp the carpet and drag himself about by his hands. He only manages a few inches at a time, but its progress.... the boy is going to be mobile soon.
He can also stand holding on to something, you have to position him there as he cant get up on his own, but those little legs are solid!
