A breakthrough

Abby officially has her first tooth. This comes as a bit of a relief, because for some time we've wondered if various moments when she's been uncomfortable could be attributed to teething.

When Owen was little we thought for months that his teeth were imminent, but they took their sweet time. The cries and pained expressions usually meant he needed to poop.

It will be interesting to see if Abby's teeth come in with the speed of her brother's. It took a while for that first one to pop through, but then his teeth were like the Allies landing at the beaches of Normandy. We'll see if she gets them one after the other, too.
