First tooth??

Ok, we understand that Aidan is only 11 weeks old now, which is usually early for babies to be teething...but the boy is advanced.

His first day out, he could already pick up his head to check out the scenery. His first week, he could already support his entire weight - all 6-7 lbs - on his scrawny legs. And we think we knows how to say a couple words (anyone seen Clint Howard's debut on Star Trek in the '60s as that baby alien who could talk? One word for that: scary).

So it's not entirely irrational exuberance to think his first tooth (or "toofer" if Susan prefers) is coming in. He's starting to drool, become more cranky and inconsolable, and always wants a third sip of beer. Which are also exactly the signs of being constipated, in my experience, so who really knows....?

There's nothing like little shards of bone, slicing their way upwards through unspoiled, tender gums. Welcome to the world, kid, and enjoy.
