Woohoo! Naomi is no longer a gummy bear! Yes, tooth number 1 has FINALLY broken the surface. Luke was 1 day short of 11 months when he cut his first tooth, and incidentally, ate his first finger food(!) so I've not been too surprised that Naomi has taken a while. She is 9 months and 18 days today. But she has been showing signs of teething since she was only 3 months old. And I can see lots of teeth in her gums waiting in the wings, particularly the top two at the front, you can see their shapes really really clearly.
So its through, very easily in fact!, so hopefully she will be as good a teether as her brother who cut 3 of his 4 back molars without my knowing. I just opened his mouth one day and there they were. They also say that the longer they take to start coming through the stronger they are and the longer they last. We shall see! Luke is 4 and his teeth are very healthy. This he gets from his dad's side of the family (I have awful teeth) so I'm hoping Naomi will follow suit.
But whether her eating will get any easier I don't know? Might have to wait until she has the top 4 and they stop food really shooting out! Having waited 11 months to start Luke then cut the first 10 in the next 6 months. So we'll just have to wait and see. A lovely present for Mothering Sunday.
