Two New Teeth!
While I was feeding Juliette today – a yummy mix of home-made applesauce and organic oats – I noticed something strange on her lower jaw.
When Juliette opened up to for the next spoonful (kind of like the way the porpoises wait for fish from their trainers at the Vancouver Aquarium) I pulled down her lower lip and took a look. This did not go over very well, and I had to deal with head twisting, shark-like chomping and an incensed glare from my sweet little poop-maker. My finger took some punishment from her sharp teeth but the effort was worth it.
There they were – two little white teeth poking from her gums on either side of her lower incisors. So now she’s got a total of 8 teeth!
These last two teeth came through quickly with little signs or warning. She’s not been drooling excessively and apart from wanting to chew the handles of her sippy-cup neither Becoming-A-Mom nor I had any indication they were cutting through.
Juliette didn’t seem especially excited about this. She just opened her mouth and demanded more applesauce. Quickly. Faced with a wide-open mouth and the potential for loud protests about the speed of service, Becoming-A-Dad quickly complied.
