So Long, Toothless Grin!

We have been waiting and waiting for Bailey to cut teeth. The other girls got their first teeth when they were 5 months old. Bailey, on the other hand has remained toothless for almost 10 months... Until today, that is! we woke up this morning with on tooth on the bottom. Both of her eye teeth are about to poke through, also!

I must confess... I'm a little sad to say goodbye to Bailey's toothless grin. I've always thought it was kind of cute that she had no teeth, even though all of her "friends" have lots of them. She's also super attached to breastfeeding and I was more than happy to not have to worry about her biting me with actual teeth. It's a little sad to turn the page onto the next chapter. Maybe I'm being a little overly sentimental on this one?

She does have another ear infection and she has this new teething thing going on but she's been pretty happy. I'm encouraged that she hasn't been a basket case. T poor thing must feel like garbage but she's been sleeping through the night and relatively happy. I'm extremely thankful for that!

The best part of Bailey's tooth discovery this morning was her big sisters... They were so excited for her that they couldn't contain themselves. They wanted to tell their grandparents and of course they wanted to feel it but Miss Bailey wouldn't allow that. I hope they're always this excited over one another's accomplishments!

Her big sister must be very happy to know that Bailey's tooth finally showed up. Well, it's normal, Jillian. Some babies grow their teeth late.

I can feel the happiness and excitement, which your family felt when Bailey had her first tooth. I can imagine how cute Bailey was when she was still toothless. Now, that she is starting to have her teeth, proper care must be observed. Even though these teeth are just temporary or baby teeth, it is still important to strictly observe personal hygiene through regular brushing. I hope Bailey will not have fear of dentist when she gets older.

Oh, your three princesses are all lovely! Well, I think everyone in the family feels really excited every time their baby has had their first ever tooth. We really consider it as one of the greatest and most memorable milestones for their little baby! ;)

Aww, congratulations on Bailey's first tooth! It's completely normal to feel a little sentimental about these milestones, but it's also exciting to see her growing up and reaching new milestones. I'm glad to hear that she's been handling the teething process well and that her big sisters are so supportive and excited for her. It's wonderful to see siblings be excited for each other's accomplishments. Enjoy this new chapter in Bailey's development!
