A Tooth! January 2011

Lena has a new tooth for a new year! We went to the doctor last Friday for a check up and mama asked why Lena hadn't gotten any teeth yet, when most of her buddies have already spouted one or two pearlies. The doctor took a look in Lena's mouth and noticed the gums were a bit swollen. She assured mama that Lena would probably get a tooth soon, maybe in the next month or two. So imagine our surprise a week later when mama decided to feel around herself and felt, yes, a little baby tooth! We didn't expect Lena to sprout a tooth that quick! And we were expecting the teething process to be painful and disruptive, but it seems that little tooth broke out without much commotion at all.
