Roooaaaarrrr!

Lily's 8 month update is long overdue- and I'm almost ready to post it- so in the mean time, Lily had this little development over the weekend. See those little bumps on her bottom left? Her first tooth is here! Click on the picture and you can really see it. We had to wait until she was sleeping with her mouth open (thanks to the cold that won't go away) to get a good look at it. Lately anytime anything gets near her mouth she licks it so it's been hard to get a look at it. You can definitely feel it if you put your finger in her mouth though (and she'll promptly BITE you, and lick you too).

We knew it was coming because she's been drooling A LOT and chewing on her fingers all. the. time. And finally one came through. Those little stinking eye teeth are still showing through her gums but don't seem any closer to coming through.

Lily wants to be a vampire for Halloween.

Nothing down here yet:

Teeth are officially on their way! Lily was a little upset at daycare yesterday. She didn't want to take any naps and was fussy; which is not like her at all. Anyone who has seen her in the past month or two knows that she's been leaking like a sieve from the mouth area for quite a while. I've been feeling her gums for a while but never really felt anything that seemed like teeth. Yesterday I took another look because of her fussiness and she didn't seem to be sick at all; low and behold two teeth are coming in.

These look like they are her eye teeth so she could have some vampire fangs for Halloween. I guess usually the bottom front teeth come in first, then the top front, then the others but some babies do get their eye teeth first. Unfortunately just because I can see them coming now doesn't mean they'll break the surface and stop being painful anytime soon. They could take MONTHS to come in all the way. Let's hope for all of our sakes that they come in quicker than that. In the mean time a walk to the store for some Baby Orajel is in the cards for our evening tonight.
