Maia has a tooth
Three days ago Maia’s first tooth began to appear on the bottom right. I’d love to show you a picture but I don’t have one! She really doesn’t like it when I try to push her lip away so that I can get a look, and her tongue pushes forwards, her arms flail, and she turns her head away. I keep trying, she keeps squirming, and fortunately she keeps forgiving me.
I did manage to get a look the other day when she was asleep and at the moment there’s not much to see — just a thin line of enamel — but it’s very distinct to the touch.
She’s not showing any signs of discomfort with it. That all happened a few months back when she was chewing anything she could get hold of and producing copious quantities of drool. For some reason that more or less stopped several weeks back, and then the tooth appeared!
She’s also pulling herself up to a standing position.
She’s almost exactly 10 1/2 months old.

Isn’t it amazing how fast this stuff starts to happen? The first tooth is just an awesome experience! Bye-bye little baby gums and hello chompers! Congrats to your sweet little girl!
Yes, it is fast! She now has four teeth and is almost walking.
