As of today, January 11, 2010, Joseline Marie Rowley has erupted her first tooth! Hooray!

I’ve known it was coming for a while. I could see it. The gums have been swollen for the last few days. She’s been fussy (of course) and ornery. But it finally erupted some time while she was sleeping (which was also broken by cries of pain all night :( and we were out of baby Tylenol)

Well, here it is, making its grand entrance! (see the little dark spot on her bottom gums – almost hidden by her lip, but it was the best shot I could get! Obviously she didn’t like me taking pictures of her mouth)

I’m sure more will quickly follow. That seems to be how these things go.

I’m really glad she’s finally getting her teeth. Vince got his at 4 or 5 months old. I think it was actually better for him to teeth when he was younger. I don’t even remember him being nearly as fussy and cranky as Joseline is. It’s like she’s older so she’s more annoyed about the pain.

The first good shot I have of Vince’s teeth, and he was almost seven months in this picture. He’d had these teeth for at least 2-3 months.
