Well the Tooth of the Matter Is…..

Noah has cut his first tooth!

So today, while Jen went to an appointment, her Mom stayed home with Noah. The appointment didn't take too terribly long, so she stopped by Einstein Bagels, picked up bagels and coffee, and headed on home. They ate, talked, let Noah have a taste of flavored cream cheese, and let him climb all over them. Then.... Noah decided to do the usual and chomp down on the hand that was holding him - that happened to be Mom this time. Mom yelled with excitement, "Ouch! Ohhhh, I completely forgot to tell you yesterday while he was at my house, but I think somebody has cut his first tooth!" So with enormous excitement, they grabbed his chubby little face and yanked his lip down to get a good look inside. After about 3 tries (keeping him still these days is like trying to tame a wild animal!) they finally got to peer inside and see the little white gem poking through. Bottom left tooth. So of course, Jen had to get on the phone and let practically everyone in her phone book know of the good news! ;) And of course, they spent the rest of the early afternoon excitedly trying to get another look in there. =) We're considering ourselves lucky since he hadn't been overly crabby or waking up in the middle of the night in pain. Easy first tooth - a breeze, really. Hopefully the rest of them will be just as easy!

We messed with the coloring on the picture so you could see the tooth better, and even tried to sharpen up some of the blur (from all the crying and flailing around), but this was the best we could get it without totally making the picture look awful. Hopefully you can see it and be as excited as we are!! =)
