So I think I’m subconsciously dreading Alethea’s next milestone. How do I know? Well, the other night I was dreaming that it was morning and I heard Alethea waking up, so I went in to get her out of her crib. She looked up at me and smiled, just like she always does, only as she grinned up at me I saw that she had 6 or 7 teeth. The teeth were all in random spots in her mouth, so it was a pretty gappy grin and some of them were even sticking out at odd angles! I was quite horrified! My beautiful baby girl has a smile like an member of the NHL!
Well, I’m glad it turned out to just be a dream, although when I woke up and thought about it, I realized that it might be nice if Alethea just suddenly grew teeth during the night and we didn’t have to go through days and days of grumpiness to get them.
Anyway…
I’m not sure how to end this post, so I’ll just close with a picture of Alethea’s current (toothless!) grin:
Maybe she’ll get teeth like her Daddy: Pete had his bottom two front teeth thru before I knew he was even getting them in!(he was 4 1/2 months) and he has nice teeth ie: no braces.
