Well, I think that FINALLY…..after almost 11 months, ‘Siah has his first tooth.
I don’t have a picture for you of his adorable toothy grin….but I’m hoping soon.
I actually can’t even see a tooth yet. So, can I really count that he has his first tooth. I think I can.
See, he’s been working on this tooth for a while now, and he’s been UNBELIEVABLY MISERABLE the past week. Up in the middle of the night crying and crying and crying and it’s not a mad “pick me up I’m so angry” cry. It’s been more of a I’m hurting cry.
Today when he woke up, we noticed that it looked like he had a nasty blister on his bottom gums, and sure enough, if you felt right there – he would flip out and cry.
I wondered when it might finally cut through, and tonight when I was feeding him some food with a metal spoon, I heard a “clink” or a “tick” as the metal hit the tooth. I wondered if if was just my imagination, but it happened again and again, and I highly doubt that he’s got a cricket loose in his belly that just happenes to be chirpping at the same time that I tap on his lower front gums.
I’m so excited. His first tooth….
It seems so silly to be so excited over something so insignificant, but still I’ve been waiting a long time for some of these “firsts” to happen, and I’m so thrilled to be able to say that this one is finally here.
How wonderful… every first is a wonderful part of celebrating God’s gift of life…that is exciting not silly. love you x
that is soooo cool!!!
You’ve been waiting this long…so you decide to bash him repeatedly with a spoon on the area where his tooth hurts most?????? Nice.
yaaaayyyy! I remember when our oldest (who is now 5) got his first tooth. I was so proud and had so show EVERYONE!
