A tooth! Finally!

Six months is the average age for babies to get teeth, so we've been checking every day for a tooth for the past four months. Every day, nothing. But this morning, at nine and a half months old, Summer finally got a tooth. On her top right. I was starting to think we'd need to put her in special education, so you can imagine my relief. Last night was great and she wasn't any fussier than usual today or yesterday. So all those times she was upset and we were sure she was suffering teething pain? I'm thinking we were drugging her for no reason.

Oh, and there will be no picture of this tooth because Summer has serious issues with people looking at her mouth. Just ask her doctor who got repeatedly kicked in the face when she tried to look in our little girl's mouth.

Oh, and we're visiting Paul and Amy in California! Yesterday we went to see some redwoods and to Santa Cruz, which had some amazing waves. Today we went to San Francisco and ate some sourdough bread, which is actually better than the stuff you get at Wal-Mart. Then we went to half-moon beach? bay? where Amy learned how to surf once upon a time. Nathaniel picked up a massive piece of seaweed and decided to use it as a whip. We changed Summer's bum on the beach and I think she was grateful to get a little fresh air down there.

We brought a camera and had lots of good intentions, but no pictures. Maybe we'll get some from Paul and Amy and post them later.

UPDATE: This blog is clearly going downhill.
