Poor Katelyn


I've got to enjoy that cute 2 tooth grin while I can. She will soon have a 6 tooth smile.

This cute little girl has been cutting her front four teeth on the top all at the same time for about 2 weeks now. I got a clue when she started gnawing on my shoulder. Her gums have been very swollen and we could see the four bumps where the teeth were trying to come down. One of them was even bleeding a little yesterday. So today, three of the four teeth have broken through the skin. Now we're just waiting on the last one, which will be any time. It's right there. She's been more irritable lately, and I'm sure that this has been a big part of the cause. I hope that she starts feeling better soon. In a strange way, I can partially realte to her, as any of you who know what's going on with my braces and teeth will know. I'm just glad that this traumatic experience of all of your teeth coming in happens when we are too young to remember. That's gotta hurt!

You are having such adventures! I'm so glad you are getting to do some fun things! Poor little Katelyn- I hope she feels better soon. Zach is cutting his top front two teeth the past week also! And the 2 next to them will follow soon... Good luck!

Poor Katelyn! That is no fun. Speaking of teeth cutting through....................................................... my tooth that has been stuck behind the gums for so long and looks like a giant welt or blister is starting to break through! It makes me want to gnaw on it to try to make it move quicker....
