Ella's First Tooth!

Well, yet again, Ella has done something that makes me feel like she is just growing up way too fast. I feel like it's something new everyday! Without me even realizing she was about to, the little stinker cut her first tooth this weekend! Eric and I were away celebrating our 5 year anniversary, and Carter and Ella were staying with their Grandma and Grandpa. We picked them up Sunday afternoon, and on Sunday evening, I noticed a little something in her mouth. When I was able to get a closer look, there it was!! I'm pretty sure it had come in the day before, just by how much of it was already showing. So I'm marking it down.... first tooth just shy of 8 months on 6/9/12. Big girl!! She has been drooly and gnawing on things like crazy for a while now, but she had recently started chomping down while nursing (ouch!). I thought it was just a phase.... but now I know why! Other than those things, she has been totally happy and hasn't had sleep problems or anything, so she handled the first one like a champ!! Carter cut his first tooth on his 11 month birthday, so I was thinking it may be a few more months for Ella. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a picture of it soon, but until then, I just had to put it in writing so one day when I'm old and senile, I will be able to look back and see that she cut her first tooth on our 5 year anniversary! :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Things have been crazy around here, and I have lots of updating to do to the blog! Check back soon for more on our 5 year anniversary weekend, Ella at 8 months, and exciting house news!!
