We have a tooth!

This week we've had a lot of drool ...


Some finger sucking ...


and lots of Sophie the giraffe chewing ...




all because of this little beauty!!


It's hard to get a picture, but it's there! Starting last week we saw two white specs in his mouth. (The second is still a white spec - you can sort of see it to the right of the tooth.) We happened to have an appt at the pediatrician this week and she said that it was the start of a tooth, and it could be a few days or another month. Turns out it was just a few days!

That white spec was actually the corner of the tooth that was starting to poke through. Today we looked and realized that you could see the entire tooth! Only half of it (the left side if you're looking at the picture) is completely out, but you can see and feel the entire thing.

He's been doing really well! Looking back there were a few clues - the excessive drooling, the finger chewing, etc. Sophie the giraffe (a famous teether from Paris!) has been a favorite toy as well. Also, one night this week he woke up around 2:30, sort of whimpering. A reswaddle and diaper change didn't seem to help (or even actually wake him up) so I rocked him for awhile. I actually thought he was having a bad dream - turns out it was probably a tooth!

Oh boy....fun times ahead for you with those early teeth at 3 months already!! Jenna got hers at 5 or 6 months and started losing them at 4 years old--which is way early....and she has braces at age 7! :)
