Teeth!?!

I happened to notice earlier today that Abigail has two very white spots in her gums right where her center lower teeth should be. I though "Ah ha! At last the teeth are close." Then through the course of the day I kept stealing opportunities to feel her gums and to get a better look at these spots. This evening I distinctly felt one small, sharp edge. I think the first tooth has just barely broken the surface. I never really cared about whether she had teeth or not. As far as I was concerned, I didn't care if they ever came, but now that their arrival is imminent I am pretty excited.

Of course, being the trooper that she is, we had not noticed any signs of teething - no drooling, no screaming or crying. Although she has had a tougher time sleeping lately so I guess that could be due to the teeth, or it could just be Abigail being Abigail. We'll likely never know. Anyway, a whole new phase of her development has arrived.
