A tooth!


Harper has been a biter, a drooler and an overall mouthy little girl since just a few weeks old. For months people have been approaching me and saying, "Oh, she must be getting a tooth. She is drooling so much and look at how much she chews and bites on everything." Never a tooth was found.
We had to go to Louisville unexpectedly this past week and Harper, although mostly smiley and happy, was just not herself the past few days. She couldn't sleep, she cried (I know, these things are the normal for other babies, but they are not the norm for Harper) and there it was today. She took a 3 hour nap after our plane ride home and apparently that is all it took. They are still cutting through and I'm sure we will still have a day of stress over it, but relief is in sight, along with the sweet little spots of white that mark her very first tooth.
