The Enamel Has Arrived


Today will go down in family history. After weeks of runny noses, coughs, and three straight days without sleeping through the night, Aeryn's gums have finally seen fit to unleash tooth number one upon the world! At dinner this evening, we noticed a small white lump that had broken through her gums. Her front lower left tooth is officially visible!


I'm so proud. It's only a matter of a few days until the rest of them start to pop through; during one of her crying fits today, I noticed her two upper front teeth were clearly visible just below the gums. I had a suspicion this was going to happen. She was just diagnosed yesterday with an ear and sinus infection, but it was obvious something else was going on. She's really taken a strong liking to the teething ring too. At this age, Jack already had 12 teeth. My little girl is growing up - finally!
