first tooth!

My little baby is gummy no more! Ok, well, maybe still quite gummy - but there is now a very sharp, very white little tooth poking up from his bottom gum. I would post a photo, but as I am not much of a photographer (and flat out getting a shot of him smiling on camera!) I thought a mouth shot would be beyond me...

Following the initial excitement of this afternoon's dental discovery, I thought it amazing little Teddy sprouted it without much of the upset I imagined would accompany such an event. A little cuddlier than usual, perhaps...definitely chewing everything in sight the last day or two...but no more grizzly or in pain or anything than normal. Teddy is one of the happiest and least-grizzly babies I know so there really was no drama. We were drama-less - in fact, I may have missed the whole event had he not shoved my finger in his mouth!

So grateful my little darling is himself while undergoing one of the biggest milestones of his babyhood - getting teeth!
