Houston, We have Tooth!

Finally, after months of anticipation, a tooth has appeared. There would be a picture here, however, I can barely jam my finger in there to apply pain relief gel. So...play pretend.

The official tooth spotting date was Monday, July 12th, at 6 months and 3 weeks old. Not sure why people look forward to teeth so much except for the fact that once one is down, there is one less to have to console him through. I mean, a tooth is cute and all, and it's another step closer to being able to eat without Mom around, but I'm not nearly as happy as I imagine I'll be when he has a full scholarship to Juliard.

So now he can chomp his way through cereal and avocado, his two favorites, and actually the only two he'll eat without subsequently puking all over the place. He has one effective gag reflex. We'll try the cheerios, bananas and peaches again later.
