Finally, the long awaited toothless grin is gone! We spotted Baby boy's first tooth on the 15th January 2014, 8 months 4 days. We are equally excited, we have waited like ages for the first tooth to erupt. And that explains why he has been waking up so frequent in the middle of the night. 12am, 3am, 5am, 6am... oh dear, this mama is going to look like a panda. To add on, he has been drooling a lot and wet the floor wherever he goes. Haha.
Oh well... it's just a phase. Few more months.. yes, few more months, he will outgrown this phase and things will definitely get easier. =D
You know, even a small little milestone like a first tooth, it just makes me so happy. Every milestone worth celebrating and cheering for because it's an accomplishment. Most of the times, I'm amazed at baby's development. You see, often times people say "Don't be like a baby, stop spoon feeding him. Let him learn on his own." Well, I think babies are smarter than us, adults. They learn things on their own. They learn how to sit on their own. Did you teach him how to sit from a tummy position? No. Did you teach him how to chew and swallow? No. And as day goes by, they learn from day to day and they experiment here and there.. until the day we call them expert. And that is the day of them stepping into a new milestone, a whole new development. So, that alone is worth celebrating for because you won't know how hard they work for it.
"First tooth"
I've been chewing, drooling, biting,
Helping my tooth along.
But now it's here
And everyone cheers,
Cause my toothless grin is gone!
Happy first tooth baby boy! *screams in excitement*
