My five month old cut his first tooth today. What a bittersweet moment. And what a big week for the little fella, a haircut and a tooth all within a couple of days of each other!!
He's been a little out of sorts the last couple of days, not his usual happy and easy self. He's been showing the classic signs of teething for at least a month now - dribbling, chewing on anything he can get his hands on, funny poos, disturbed sleep, etc - but the last couple of days he's been unusually clingy as well as generally moody. Tonight during a particularly reluctant bedtime routine I was giving him his bedtime feed and he gave me a hard bite which hurt more than usual, it felt sharp. So I rubbed the bottom front of his gums with my finger and sure enough felt a little sharp edge and when I looked I saw it. It's hardly noticeable but definitely there. And it definitely wasn't there this morning.
I can't believe my baby is growing so fast. And I can't believe what a sentimental fool I've become but I don't feel quite ready for all this. Just when I've begun thinking about weaning and researching high chairs! It's all going to happen so fast.
