Fearless

No I am not referring to Taylor Swift's album title or music.
I'm referring to my son who is 5 1/2 months old and absolutely fearless.
His new thing is putting his hands in the dogs' mouths while they're trying to kiss him or chew on a bone.
He also loves to pinch, twist and pull my boob while we're nursing. I've tried putting mittens and socks on him and he just pulls them off. I'm beyond frustration now...
I'm bruised here and there all over my boob because he's so ridiculously strong. I can scream and yell the roof off in pain - and what does he do? He doesn't cry or jump or pout. He smiles and laughs his head off.
Some of my friends told me when they were nursing and their babies started to teeth - as soon as they bit them and they yelled in pain/surprise - the baby never did it again.
Ha. I literally scream and yell as if going in labour again - and V�in� just keeps going. Sometimes he'll pat me like it makes the pain go away - then he goes on pinching again.

Other acts of fearlessness? We can spin around in a circle holding him and he just laughs...we can let him slip backwards so he's hanging upside down on our laps and again - just laughs. His neck is strong enough that we can fly him around on his side or toss him in the air (without letting go) and he just chuckles.
The dogs have launched themselves off of him (if he was in his car seat and in the way of the couch) gently ... as gentle as a 75 lbs dog can be .... and he yelled in surprise and then laughed. I personally cry every time the dog steps on me too hard.

However if we go in the bathroom for potty time - then the tears flow.

I'm terrified I gave birth to a dare devil.
