At 5 1/2 months, Nathan’s first tooth has popped up. Interestingly enough, it is not the tooth that has been sitting ever so patiently below the surface for the past month or so. This tooth literally popped up over night. I could tell yesterday morning that his teeth were bothering him because he was tugging at his ear. I ran my finger on his gums and didn’t feel anything. He even chewed on my knuckle and I couldn’t feel the tooth. Strange.

I tried to take a picture tonight but Nathan won’t let us look in his mouth. We will try to get a picture within the next couple of days. Until then, here is a somewhat related picture. Nate really likes to suck on ice, especially since he now has 3 teeth waiting in the wings. This is a little ringed holder that we can put fruit (or ice) in for Nathan to suck or chew on. He gets so wet, but he enjoys it.
