Current mood: shocked
I knew she was teething hardcore the past few weeks. It started around her birthday but has since gotten a bit better and she has perked up some. She still gets a little moody at times and the drooling has returned, though thank goodness not as bad as before. I have checked her mouth numerous times waiting to see which tooth would poke through first. It was a race between a tooth next to her front (right side, her left side came in awhile back) and her left side canine tooth (both were budding and ready to break through any day) however the tooth no one suspected decided to take the lead and poke through today! It is her first molar!!!!! Its on her left side.
She was being extra whiny so I decided to check her mouth again. I felt around for the usual spots and didn't find anything sharp... then I reached back and found a sharp little tooth poking out!! I couldn't understand why her canine (which was supposed to pop out next) was so far back so of course I had to pin her down and take a real good look. Mia obviously didn't go down without a battle, but having her scream made things alittle easier since I didn't have to pry her mouth open. Sure enough it wasn't the canine like I thought, it was infact her first molar! A small corner is poking out but I can see the outline of the whole tooth ready to be next. I sat her up, comforted her and cuddled her while celebrating. She perked up and now shes resting on Daddy while I spread the news all over the net! haha
I am actually pretty shocked that molar came out first. It counts as her tooth #6!!!! Two top (center), one top (left side next to center), two bottom (middle) and now her new upper left side molar! I looked up on the net and it says that bottom teeth usually come in faster than top, but for Mia after growing her two bottom ones first she has only worked on the top. It also said that molars usually don't come in till they are 13-18 months old! Well she will be 13 month next week so I guess thats right. Either way I am happy! another toddler-hood milestone!!! GO MIA!
