First Tooth

Kepler got his first tooth yesterday,
so we figured it was time for a visit to the dentist.
Even though this same dentist assured me that Kepler was NOT teething, despite all the classic symptoms, you know: runny nose, fever, poor appetite...

In fact he told me that he would be shocked if Kepler did get a tooth soon, since he didn't feel anything in his gums. Imagine his surprise when I called him at work a couple days later to let him know I could feel a white, bumpy tooth on the bottom!

True to form, Kepler barley gave us any signs that he was teething, a little bit of extra fussing (he's also sick), a little bit of extra waking up, but no extra red gums. I couldn't even tell the tooth had cut until I felt it. Sometimes I'm not sure that this kid is for real, he is so good!

In other teeth news, I'm proud to say that I have NO cavities (just sore teeth), which is a big accomplishment for me.

And for good measure I just thought I'd add in some pictures of Jayna hating the dentist... chair. Just in case you weren't quite convinced yet that her and Kepler are complete opposites ;)
