Teething and crawling

On Thursday I took jamesie and sis to their well-checks. After a week of sissy uncharacteristically fussing and fussing some more I asked the doctor to look at her teeth (or, rather, gums) and tell me she has a tooth coming in ASAP. Well, he looked and said "i see her swollen gums, but that tooth has a few more weeks to go still. Don't expect it to come through tomorrow, or even this week." Ugh-- a few more weeks of this. Well, mothers, always trust your instinct. The said tooth did poke through just two days later after crying through sean's soccer game saturday morning as i lamented to the other mothers "no, the doctor said the tooth isn't coming any time soon. i swear she's usually so happy...." And, adding to her milestones this week, our little baby girl started crawling right at the 9 month mark as well! It is so cute and she just looks so tiny and petite to be crawling! (She is still at 20th percentile for weight-- just a little whisper of a baby!) Enjoy!
