Madeleine's First Tooth!

We discovered today that Maddie's first tooth popped!!  Once in awhile I'll put a finger in Maddie's mouth to feel around for teeth.  Today I felt something very sharp on her lower gums. Normally there is something sharp which I thought was just the center of her gums, but it was sharper today. After some poking and pulling, we saw her bottom tooth had popped!

This explains a little bit - Maddie slept poorly Saturday night. She had a slight fever on Sunday, we gave her some baby tylenol and she slept really well that night (the fever was gone on Monday). She has also been tugging on her right ear a little more than usual the past few days.  And last night, she woke up at 11pm which is very abnormal. I had to hold her for about 40 minutes before I was able to set her back asleep in her crib.  She is always sticking objects in her mouth so nothing new there!

So while we thought she might be teething (which is our excuse whenever she does something out of the ordinary) we thought she'd be much more fussy. Imagine our surprise to see her tooth had already broken through!  It also looks like the tooth next to it is also on its way!  She had another slight fever tonight so we gave her some tylenol in hopes she can sleep better tonight.

These photos were not easy to get!


UPDATE 6/12/15 Friday morning: Her second tooth is coming through too! It's just the tip but it's on its way out!
