ryan's first tooth

his first tooth popped out yesterday! a few days ago he woke up from his nap screaming and unhappy so i looked in his mouth and saw two lighter colored areas on his lower gums. i told j and my mom he was teething but i don't think either of them believed me! i told them to look in his mouth but his tongue always got in the way so they couldn't get a good look. my mom said "no...it's too early..." she has this weird chinese rhyme that says "seven month - sit up, eight month crawl, nine month first tooth".

well looks like i'm not crazy after all! yesterday he woke up screaming from his nap AGAIN so i felt his lower gum and now i can feel the ridges! looks like a tooth has broken through and is starting to come in!! this morning j confirmed feeling the tooth also haha. so yay, his first tooth a few days before he turns 6 months. his 6wk appt is on tues so i'll update with his stats. i think he is almost 20 lbs! i know i know, i haven't update the photos page in AGES, so hopefully i'll get on it and they'll be updated to his most recent pics. we're debating whether or not to get professional pics taken for 6 months. hmmm. we got a sears giftcard from a relative when ryan was born, so since we don't shop there, maybe we'll use it for photos!
