Now Arriving...

Carter's first tooth! Yes, folks, that's right...at 13 months, Carter is getting tooth #1. It is his bottom right front tooth, and it appears that tooth #2 (bottom left front) is soon to follow. It made its appearance on Wednesday...and, boy, are we glad. Not so much because I was worried about the lack of teeth (I figured they'd come in eventually), but rather because last night was the first night Carter has slept through the night in about the last eight days! Whew!

You can see the tip of the tooth peeking through...I know in this picture it looks like it is his left front tooth, but that is just because I'm pushing his lip over

Congrats Carter! Don't worry, Mary Mac was like 10 months before her 1st tooth finally appeared - after MONTHS of the "teething signs"! Just watch out - once the 1st one came in, the rest came right behind it and she had a mouth full of teeth within a couple of months!

teething can be a killer when you're so use to them sleeping through the night. emily is the same! i can't belive he hasn't had any teeth all this time...i just assumed that there was a mouthful with everything he can eat! emily just got her 11th over the weekend and she still doesn't chew everything like she should and chokes sometimes. you'd think i was starving her the way she eats breakfast!? :)

he's such a cutie!
