Well y'all I have bee talking about this dang tooth for months now and it has FINALLY decided to show it's presence! I have been able to feel it with my finger for the past four or five days but yesterday it finally broke through and we could SEE IT! Needless to say I wanted a picture of the little thing. However Emma Claire decided she didn't want any part in that, so I decided to let her be and would try again in the morning. So today was the day. I was GOING to get a picture of the tooth. Easier said than done, my friends. Here's the proof.
At first I decided I would just get her to laugh and open her mouth really wide and I would snap a picture. HA. yeah right. She seemed to be intentionally laughing with her mouth closed. (see bottom left picture) Stinker.
So then I decided my next tactic would be a combo. I would try to get her to laugh and move in as if I was giving her something to chew on. That ALMOST worked.
After about 10 minutes of making all sorts of noises/faces/dancing around I scooped her up, plopped her on the couch and just decided to open her mouth myself because I WAS going to get a picture of this tooth.
FINALLY! I Got it! And for those of you who think I tortured her due to her pitiful faces, I assure you that a.) this photo shoot took all of 60 seconds and b.) she is fine. just dramatic. ha!
So here it is in all of it's glory. THE TOOTH. Which as it turns out should be TEETH. Her second one has broken through as well! So now I don't blame her for all of the fussy days. I would fuss too if I had two teeth working their way through the gums.
So there you have it.
Another milestone.
Another day closer to turning one.
Another sign she is growing and thriving.
And one more reason I wish I could pause time to enjoy this sweet age even more.

Yay congrats on the 1st tooth Emma Claire!!
They smile for pictures until you want to see their new teeth. :) I think everyone has the same tortured photos of their kids.
Oh my! What a journey this tooth thing has been for you girls! Callyn still isn't even working on any that I can tell! Yesterday at Mommy & Me class they talked about teeth and told us however the baby is when cutting their first teeth (fussy vs. doesn't even notice) is how they will almost always be cutting their molars. Not to be the bearer of bad new for ya or anything ;)
Ah! Love this!! I can SO relate. Adeline's just broke through a day or two ago and she pierces her lips together when I try to look. Cracks me up and drives me crazy all at the same time!! ;)
awww! Yay! Congrats EC!! :)
Your attempts at that pic were hilarious. Dramatic, she is. I think we can ALL tell that. What a sweet stinker. :) I just captured my "baby's" first LOST tooth a couple of months ago. :( Time keeps truckin' whether we like it or not. Seriously can't believe she's 6 months. Sweet girl.
Hooray!!
woo hoo!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I don't want our babies to grow up!!! :(
she is sooo cute! YAY EC!! So proud of her :)
Bless her heart! She's been working hard for those! I really feel like H is teething right now but who knows?! I've thought that before and nothing ever happened!
Yay for her first tooth!!! I love all of the pictures- it's important to document what we go through just to document these milestones! ha! :)
You really did your best (with all your might. :D) just to capture his first teeth. Well, my wife and I also did the same thing with our precious daughter. Hahaha! We took a lot of pictures and noted the date when her first tooth came out. It’s really a great feeling for us parents to be able to capture our baby’s first moments. ;)
