First Tooth Has Arrived!

It's here, bottom left, sharp as can be, already poked through the gum.  She's been an absolute trooper, a little out-of-sorts but nothing like I've heard about with other babies.  Oh, and then there's the increase in drool.  Sometimes she drools so much she gets a little red rash on her chin.  Of course I've read that this is common when babies are teething, once again referring to other parents experience on the internet.  How did our folks handle all this when only doctors and hard-cover books were available? ;~)

The arrival and hence our discovery of the tooth was both elating and sad for me.  I was so excited to feel it and to see my baby growing up and changing... and then I was quite sad that my baby is growing up and changing.  The two-sides of parenthood.  Does it ever change?
