Yesterday was a BIG day...Abby got her first tooth! I knew it was coming since there has been a hard little ridge on her gumline for the past 2 weeks and she has really been chewing hard on everything in sight (even grunting as she chewed). I checked her gums in the morning and low and behold, there it was! It really surprised me when I felt that little tooth. I thought "great, she hasn't even been very bothered by it." Well, that changed very quickly. We had a very unsettled afternoon. She was so unhappy and wouldn't take a nap (literally screaming every time I tried to lay her down) but she was so tired. I finally got her to fall asleep about 3:30 but she only slept for 30 min. Grammie took her for a walk on the beach and she managed to make it through the rest of the day just fine. Went to bed about 6:30 and slept all night. So, she definitely wasn't feeling great once that tooth came through but seems to be just fine today. In the grand scheme of things, it could've been much worse so I can't complain. It was so sad to see since she has NEVER been that unhappy in her whole 6 months of life. Poor little sweetie.
It's funny because I was so excited about that tooth and then when I went to bed, I couldn't help but feel a little sad too. Gone is the helpless little baby that I would snuggle in my arms. She's growing and gaining her independence every day. This is exactly what I've heard from all of my friends who are mothers but you just can't understand until it's your child you are watching change right before your eyes. I will enjoy seeing her meet each and every milestone!
