Teo's First Teeth

Today I noticed that Teo was playing around a lot with his mouth. He kept sticking his tongue in and out, flicking it across his lower gums. Also, when I was feeding him some baby food with a spoon, he would take a bite and then give me this little grimace and shrugging his shoulders. But I didn't clue into what he was trying to tell me until he refused to nurse at bedtime. He never misses an opportunity to nurse, so I figured something was going on. So I checked his lower gums and sure enough I felt two tiny, sharp protrusions.

I must say, for someone who had worked the whole day cutting two teeth, Teo maintained his good humor and pulled through with a smile.
