And if things weren't going into her mouth often enough BEFORE, well they definitely are now!!! Milestone cards, her fingers, my fingers, washcloths, her bib, her toys, her clothes, my shoulder, my chin..... it's all fair game!!!
As you know, I've been saying for a long time now -- approximately 3 months to be more specific -- that Emily was teething. Well, last Thursday/Friday I finally started to feel her little tooth cut through her gum. Over the weekend it cut through a bit more and was a bit more sharp, and on Monday it was sharp enough that when she bit my finger it left a little dent! But it wasn't until yesterday/today that you could easily see the tooth. It's tiny, but visible! Poor babe had a heck of a time sleeping late last week and over the weekend, but I'm hoping now that it's fully broken through it will be a bit less painful for her.
I tried to get a photo of her little chomper, but it turns out that's like getting a photo of a leprechaun riding on a unicorn running under a double rainbow over a pot of gold.
This is the best I could do. :)
And if you look realllllllly hard at the center of her bottom gums, you can sort of see it in this photo...
Well, there you have it! All the anticipation and now we've experienced sitting up, crawling & a first tooth all in one week! The trifecta is complete. You can now return to your regularly-scheduled programming. ;) I'm going to hit the sack so I can snuggle with my baby girl tonight when her crawling practice and pearly white wakes her up!
From what I've read, teeth usually come in pairs, so perhaps Baby Girl might have 2 front teeth by Christmas after all. Stay tuned!
