Could it be?

For the last couple weeks Laura has been chewing on her fingers. I thought it was just because she was getting bigger & finally found her hand. Which is possibly true too.. but here lately she's had her hand in her mouth a lot more it seems like. She's been drooling a little.. not too bad yet. Well last night I decided to check her mouth just out of curiosity.. I washed my hands real good & felt of her gum & I thought I felt a little bump but wasn't sure so I looked and sure enough! There it was! A teeny tiny little white bump on her lower gum on the left side.. a tiny tooth coming in! I couldn't believe it! I thought babies usually start teething around 4 months. I know all babies are different but I just knew I had another month before anything like this would happen. Wrong! I was so excited though! Another first! I had to call Kyle in to check it out & we shined a flashlight just to get a better look.
I can't believe she's already getting a tooth! She hasn't been cranky at all about it, yet anyway. We are going to have to stock up on teething tabs for sure though!

The other day I asked Kyle where our little baby was & he said "Father Time has taken her." So true.
Everyone always says to enjoy them while they are little because it will go by fast & be gone before you know it. I never really understood exactly how true that was until I had Laura. I'm sad because she's not a tiny baby anymore but at the same time, I'm so happy we have a healthy baby girl that is growing up before our eyes. Even though we still have a long ways to go, the time seems to keep passing so quickly.

I can't wait to see her reach all her firsts milestones & grown into my little girl that won't be little for long!
