teeth!...for real this time!

so a while back you may remember a posting where i mentioned feeling a tooth come in...well the truth of the matter is that the very next day i didn't feel it anymore. but last night, when little miss chomped down on my knuckle - as she is prone to do - i really felt a tooth. just to make sure, i peeked inside her mouth and sure enough, there is a little tooth poking out of the gums (boy does that look uncomfortable!). her first tooth is coming in on the bottom, front, just to the left.

it's weird, i'm super excited about this new development, but kinda sad too. it means she's leaving some of her baby-self behind. she'll be eating soon and before we know it she'll be asking us for the car keys. people say it all goes too fast, but it's impossible to describe how fast - it's a blur. a heartbreakingly wonderful blur.
