Claire's First Tooth

Well, it's finally here! Claire is sporting a tiny white speck on her lower gum. She was unusually clingy yesterday and wouldn't let me put her down. She wasn't particularly fussy, but just wanted to be held and cuddled. She didn't nap at all--every time I tried to put her down she woke right up. Once Lee got home she was the same for him--and he is the 'baby whisperer' that can always get her to sleep. So, the thought crossed my mind that she might be teething. I checked her gum and what do you know?? There was a tiny white speck peeking through her lower gum. It doesn't seem to be bothering her very much. She is her usual happy self, just a little more demanding of my attention.

I tried to get pictures of her 'speck' today. That was an adventure! Claire was enamoured with the camera and wouldn't let me get close enough to get a shot. She kept grabbing the lense and lense cap and moving it just as I was getting ready to snap it. The resulting photos were pretty entertaining, so I thought I'd share those. You can barely see the speck in one or two of them, but I mostly got blurry shots of her ear :)



You can barely see it in this one if you look closely

I can see it! Congrats! One day and just a million to go. Josiah just got his first molars last week. He got 3 in 3 days! Boo Hoo for both boy & Mom!

Claire is just precious!
