Announcement of Great Importance!!!

Announcing (Picture to be forthcoming, as she allows it)!!!! Kaylynn has made a major advancement in the growth and development from babyhood into, well, later babyhood. She has her 1st Tooth! She has had a cold the last week or so and we have chalked up her increased clinginess and saddness to her sickness. On Sunday we laid her down for a nap and she cried and cried and cried. After 45 minutes she fell asleep, but only for 30 minutes, then woke up crying again. A bit later in the day I was giving her a drink of water from a glass and heard a 'tink tink' sound. I looked in her mouth and sure enough it was there on the front bottom of her gum, a little pearly point protruding from her tender little gum. First I felt like a crapy parent, then I gave her tylenol, baby oragel and her frozen teething ring. She has been a much happier baby since her parents are properly assisting her through her teething experience. She isn't too excited about sharing it with the world, but as soon as I can get her to, I'll get a picture.

First off you aren't a crappy parent! you rock! Never let yourself think that! I used to think that I was a crappy parent, but you can't be there for everything and everyone! You are doing a wonderful job! And as for teeth, make sure that it is "up for good" cause our girls teeth would come up to the point you could see a little white, but then would go back down. Perfectly normal for some babies! Good luck! And the teething tablets and frozen otter pops are the best!
