Snaggle Toothed
On Monday, June 12th (TheMonk’s first birthday), he awoke and immediately let it be known that he was not in the mood to celebrate. His crankiness was heard throughout the neighborhood and his poor Daddy wasn’t even able to eat breakfast with all the attention TheMonk demanded.
Could the cause of this crankiness finally be the arrival of a tooth?
We thought so and we lathered on Orajel and gave him a shot of Tylenol with a milk chaser.
This calmed the savage beast and we went along our day. This morning, as Daddy fed him, TheMonk grinned – and showed the tip of a pearly white. His white front tooth winked at me and we all rejoiced!
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT TheMonk WILL NOT GO THROUGH LIFE BEING KNOWN AS GUMMY!
TheMonk HAS A TOOTH!

And congratulations.
Please watch for fevers. An amok, out-of-nowhere fever from a tooth (that spiked higher than normal for a tooth-related fever) is what caused The PB to have her first ‘febral’ seizure.

Good job JT! He didn’t want anyone thinking he didn’t get his first tooth in his first year.

Congrats. Pretty soon he’ll be gobbling down those goldfish crackers.

You gotta have hope, miles and miles of hope. When the odds are saying you’ll never…oops well you know what I mean. Here’s hoping he gets his grandmother’s good teeth genes.

It’s clear he’s doing things his way. He’ll bust out a tooth when he’d damn good and ready!
Congrats!
