As I've written in recent posts, Madeline is getting much better at sitting by herself. She still topples backward occasionally, but can mostly right herself if she begins to lean too far in any other direction. She likes playing with toys that dangle or are placed in front of her on the ground.
But the big story over the past few days seems to be the arrival of Madeline's first tooth. On Monday night during bath time Lacey noticed a new spot on Madeline's bottom gum - nothing more than an elongated red mark. On Tuesday the area seemed a little more white. The problem is that Madeline isn't very good about letting you look into her mouth. She won't open on command and, when she does open up, her tongue gets in the way.
She has been a little more fussy over the last week, she has lots of drool and she likes to chew on everything - all possible signs of teething. And it's right about the time that many babies start getting their first teeth. But I guess we won't know for certain until that first pearly white makes its appearance.

Is it too much to ask for me to have one of her new teeth? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
