Grand Entrance


My mom was a toothless baby in her 1-year-old photos.
I was starting to get a little worried that Elliot was traveling the same path.
Last week, Elliot's gums had the look of a newborn babe's.
Three days later, I saw that a little tooth had broken skin. His first tooth. I nearly cried right there at breakfast.
Four days later, after my little baby boy spent the weekend screaming for no apparent reason, I can see that his bottom gum is riddled with the signs of coming teeth. I estimate between four and six are on their way up (if he'd let me get a decent look). I have no idea on the forecast of the top (he's got a really strong swat).
By 9 months, Jane had 8 teeth. Elliot has 10 days.

Am I a bad mother because I have no recollection of when Jordan's teeth came in? I only know that each one cost me many hours of sleep ... Love the recent pics of Elliot. I love how he and Jane look so different, yet are equally adorable.
