Teething Continues

Chloe started cutting her lower right canine. She has been putting her hands in her mouth a lot the last few days.  I wasn't sure what was wrong because she kept putting her hands in and touching her tongue like something tasted bad, but now I think her gums were just hurting in the front. 

She is getting closer to a completely toothy grin! Her one-year molars are almost all all the way in, too.  She started cutting those in April while on vacation in Florida. :) 

More Teeth

Chloe has yet to get her top right tooth, so her Grandpa Loethen calls her his Arkansas girl (having a hillbilly- like smile with three teeth).  I know that is not very nice, but that is some kind of joke that native Missourians think is funny.  Sorry. 

Anyway, Chloe had two more teeth erupt last night, and it is pretty hilarious because they are both on the left side.  One is on the bottom and one is on the top.  So, now Chloe will have four teeth on the left and one on the bottom right.  Poor kid!  She looks pretty cute, though...I would take her with her Arkansas smile any day!

Third Tooth

While in Indiana for Thanksgiving, Miss Chloe had a very hard time sleeping on Thanksgiving Eve.  She woke up about three times and wanted to nurse every time.  This was out of the ordinary, because she never wakes at night anymore.  I thought that maybe it was just because we were all sleeping in the same room and she wanted me because she could see me.  However, when we got up on Thanksgiving morning I noticed that her third tooth had finally erupted.  It is the top left one, and I am sure it's the culprit of her night wakings.  Poor baby...I guess the nursing gave her some comfort (at least I hope it did).

Finally...some teeth!

Yesterday I looked into my sweet Chloe's mouth, and what do you know, there were actually some signs of teeth.  That's right, not just one, but two!  At first it just looked like she had some little white bubbles on her gums (which were actually the little points of her teeth).  Today her right tooth broke through the gum tissue and the left one is still just below the surface.  It sure is exciting, however, I will miss that little gummy smile. Good thing it will be replaced by such a cute one with teeth. :)
