Who would have thought, there would be so much pride in your child getting his first tooth? I mean it's not like he invented the cure for cancer or, became CEO of some company, or even President. It's not like he took his first steps, said a complete sentence.

But I will tell you what.... I am proud.

You see...a bunch of other babies, that I hang out with, all have their teeth. Born about the same time as Bear. And it was starting to worry me that he didn't have any. Some of these babies even have 8 teeth! WOW!

The night it popped was a restless one. Bear awoke at an unnatural hour, and was sweet. A little whiny, a little restless, a little clingy. I didn't notice until the next day at lunch that he even had worked it up. And then we celebrated.

Sniff, my little man is growing up.
