I check little Harper Cole’s mouth for teeth just about every day. Night before last, there was no sign of a tooth. But yesterday when Carrie, his babysitter, brought him to me afterschool….we saw a tiny slit in his gum! Sure enough, when I felt around, I could feel the very tip of a tiny little tooth trying to surface. He was 13 months old yesterday, so that was a good little 13-month birthday surprise! We’ve been wondering when in the world he would start teething, especially with him being the age he is. It’s a little bittersweet, though…that sweet gummy grin is so precious, and it just keeps him a baby for that much longer. Yesterday evening, at his Great- MaMa’s birthday party, it was evident that he was “feeling” it! He was very irritable and putting his hands in his little mouth. I gave him some teething tablets when we got home (we’ve had them for 6 months!) and that seemed to make him feel better!
