For a while, I thought it wasn't going to happen till she turned one. But she started drooling like crazy this weekend and when I looked, I saw tiny white ridges on the roof of her gums. Hoooray!From all the teething literature I've perused, it's supposed to be a pretty traumatic experience, both for baby and the parents - sudden spurts of crying, fussiness, loss of appetite, little or no sleep. Surprisingly, Kayla's taking her swollen gums very well. We haven't had to do much besides giving her a chilled teething toy. She's not crying or fussing too much; she's been miracle-baby good (fingers crossed, of course).
Even more exciting: She started to crawl, okay, maybe wriggling about like a caterpillar doesn't qualify but hey, she's trying. She does it only on our bed (the rug's too rough, I think) and only in reverse mode (backwards only). Guess who's going to be chasing her around pretty soon.
