But he's just a baby!

Yesterday, I let Charlie chew on my finger and discovered a sharp little tooth poking through his bottom gums! I was so completely shocked! Sure, he has a runny nose, he drools like crazy, and he's had a few fussy spells, but he's just a teeny, tiny little baby! WAY too young to have a tooth...right? I know the first teeth normally show up between 4 and 6 months, so he's actually not too young to have a tooth, but it sure seems like he is. It's definitely harder for me to accept that he's growing up than it was for me with Ellie. With her, I was just so excited for every new phase/stage, and with Charlie, I'm acutely aware of the fact that his might be the last toothy grin to greet me every morning...well at least until Damian losses his teeth, but he's not much of a morning person, so even then, I don't think I'll see his gummy smile every morning. So slow down, little Charlie.

So cute Adrienne!! Your "may be the last toothy grin" comment made me tear up a bit :) Granted, I only have one little guy so far but I completely agree with you--it is going WAY TOO QUICKLY!!!

Isn't it sad?!? Now you sound like me as I sat in your kitchen and discovered Harper had a tooth! But...I also know you'll love his toothy grin just as much, if not more than that gummy one!

So hard for moms to imagine their baby is anything other than their baby even when they're 30 years old! Each child has his/her own special place in our hearts, that's for sure!
