Ten Months and Still Toothless

It's darling that Tatum's maintains her toothless grin at ten months. A mother at Tatum's day care told me a few months ago (when I was convinced Tatum was teething) that she saw the appearances of teeth in her daughter's mouth as bittersweet - bitter that her smile changed and sweet that a new tooth appeared. Her advice was to enjoy the toothless grin while it lasts, at it's lasted us. I can now say with conviction that a tooth is coming in: the upper left tooth is pushing through and may break any day. So long toothless McGee, hello one tooth wonder.
