Finally a tooth!

Well, this is just another quick post for my own records, but maybe a couple others will find it interesting, namely grandma. Anyway, now that Tel is just a few weeks shy of turning 1 year old he finally cut his first tooth. He has been so fussy and a little more lethargic than normal lately but I just figured it was because he wasn't sleeping well at night and that the cause of that was gas, not a tooth. I had no idea what I was looking for. I kept checking his gums with my finger to see if I could feel anything and everytime there was nothing until last night (May 4th) when I checked at bathtime and sure enough there was a little tooth starting to poke through the gums. The bottom left front tooth. Anyway, it's exciting for us. He's now one tooth closer to being able to eat whatever Casey and I eat without it having to be all ground up. Hooray!

Doesn't it just make you feel so much better when you see that tooth poke through. I was the same way with Annali I kept wondering why she was up all night and why she was so cranky and then i saw the tooth. I don't know if this will make you feel any better but baby teeth are like adult teeth in that they can come up and then go back down and then come up and down so they can be cranky for quite some time before you finally see them. Annali now has 6 teeth. 3 on top and 3 on bottom! Crazy
