So, after a long drought, here we are again for an update.
Teeth - David has 4 molars, and has cut his canine teeth too. This has gone reasonably well, without major issues (just lots of minor grumpiness).
Words - David has lots of new words. I lost a post several weeks ago where I tried to list his words. He has just had a vocabulary explosion - repeats all sorts of words that he hears, and works really hard on getting the diction right. He keeps saying a word, until you acknowledge it (and get it right). And he has a great memory. Erin thought that he was being a bit silly on Thursday - he was saying "Gracie, Barking". Erin thought that he meant Gracie (and Liam) who are children he plays with often now, as Erin knows their nanny Zoe. When he said it to me and I told Erin he meant Matthew's (and Jennifer and Michael's) dog, Gracie - and she does bark a lot! He remembers the recent visit to Matthew, and that Matthew let him ride on his bike and play with his toys, including a screwdriver. I have included a couple of photos of Matthew and David taken at our place on an earlier visit.

Erin has been sick a bit (caught the lurgie from the kids) and I spent nearly a week straight with David - and it went fine. We do get on, and even though he is only a cuddly boy when he is tired, miserable or we are reading, he really is affectionate.
He loves getting out and saying hello to everyone - the man in the coffee shop, the people in the greengrocer, the locals who walk their dog - everyone gets a Hi or Morning! He had made friends with our neighbours - he sees John and Carol most mornings & evenings when we are waiting for Erin, or Erin & David are waiting for me to come home from work. He also knows Danny, who lives in the middle unit and is always friendly and talks to him. He waves to the men who work in the factory units across the road, and gets a wave and a toot- toot from the rubbish truck men every Thursday.
