First Teeth

Well...it's finally here! Ava's first tooth made it's grand entrance on Tuesday, July 25th. It arrived with little fanfare, as Ava didn't behave any differently in the days prior. In fact, Ava's sitter Vicki pointed it out to me when I came to pick up Ava that afternoon. Could our little girl really be immune to the ill effects of teething? Not so fast...four days later, Ava was not herself. She was feverish, she barely slept during the day, she was whiny, she wanted to cuddle. It was a long, long day. Lo and behold, the next morning--Sunday, July 30th--Ava's second tooth popped out. They are still just little nubs, they are razor sharp, and they already make my sweet baby look less like a baby and more like a little girl. A new chapter unfolds...
