A tooth!
The toothless wonder is no more!
Jack finally has the beginnings of his very first tooth, on the lower middle. It's been 10.5 long months of a gummy smile, but we are ready for this kid to show us some toothy grins.
When I checked yesterday while he was eating breakfast, just about the only time he opens his mouth wide enough without his tongue blocking my view, I could see the gums had opened and there was a tooth emerging.
I probably could have guessed we had tooth, even without seeing it yesterday, as his sleep went all to hell last night and this morning.
We had a screamfest at 2 a.m., which we have not had for weeks, and he slept with us all night. Which means he nursed all night. Which means Mommy did not sleep all night.
Nap time this morning has also gone over with flying colors. So far he's been in there for 50 minutes and he's still. not. asleep. We've been in there once with Tylenol.
Man, this kid can scream.
And we get to do this for all his teeth? Sign me up!

Happy tooth-day, Jack!!
Congrats! We're working on the molars, here.
ooohhh, I remember those first teeth. I believe I threw the phone when Mr. Flinger wouldn't answer his cell phone because I would have the screamer in my arms when I called. Heh.
Congrats on tooth #1! Trust me, it gets oodles better after that first one.
Well. Mostly. :-)
