"Toothers"

So, on Tuesday, Jenna got a "toother." Yep, before my precious Madeline. This was a weird revelation for me - Jenna doing something first. I was pregnant first, Maddy was born first, Maddy smiled first, laughed first, stuck her tongue out first, figured out all the toys first, and now BAM! MIL called to tell me that Jenna got a "toother." Yes, notice I said MIL, not SIL. MIL spends just about as much time, if not more, with Jenna than SIL does. It's amazing to me. SIL never goes home and her hubby never comes to MIL's house - it's weird. He's always "mowing the lawn" or something. Anyhow, back to the "toother" business.

Madeline is hard core teething. There is a "bump" on the bottom, and there's a "toother" on the verge of exposing itself, but in the meantime, she's a little crabby. You can tell when her mouth is bothering her, and lately we've spent a lot of time with our fingers in her mouth, holding cold teethers and giving her Tylenol every so often. I wish it would just "appear" already!

Jenna didn't go through any of this - she just drools all the time - so we weren't expecting her to have a tooth first at all. Oh well, I'd take a happy toothless baby to a crabby baby with teeth any day!
