Sophie's 1st Tooth!!!

As most of you know, I fretted that Sophie may have to be outfitted with baby dentures. But now, at 12 months of age, she finally is getting a tooth! It's the bottom front right one. She doesn't seem bothered by it...no sleepless nights or insatiable crying. If anything, she's more tired that usual. I don't know if it's because she's able to cope with it better at 12 months than at an earlier age or if she just doesn't feel much discomfort. I'm not going to ask too many question though and just be happy with my luck.

You can barely see it in this picture (sorry for the food all over her face...it was dinnertime). In person, you can see this little white thing and you sure can feel it.

Now probably all the rest will pop through at the same time. She never has had trouble eating with no teeth...she's a master at biting with her gums.

Anyway, that's the excitement in our lives. We did have a dramatic moment this evening (dramatic for Sophie, funny for me). She has this toy that's a stuffed Tigger sitting in a little car. You pull Tigger's tail, and the whole thing vibrates. I guess it's suppose to move across the floor or something. Anyway, I pulled Tigger's tail and put it on the ground in front of Sophie. It just sort of vibrated in place. Sophie looks at it, her face crumples up, and she crawls into her closet and cries! I guess it scared her for some reason, but I couldn't stop laughing. She just looked so pitiful crawling into the closet (which is not a walk in, by the way) and trying to get as far in as possible. We took the toy and threw it downstairs to go into the toy box. I didn't want her to have nightmares of the horrible wiggling Tigger in the closet. :-)

Here's some other pictures that were in the camera.

She just looks to tiny compared to Andy.
