The excess drool. The runny nose. The constant chewing. It's all here, along with Roxi's first tooth. The tip of one of her bottom incisors pushed its way to the surface on Saturday.
This is excellent timing, since Roxi wants very little to do with mushy baby food these days. She's eating chunks of banana, peeled grapes, tofu, peas, sweet potatoes, cheese, rice cakes and just about any bread product. We're like Hansel and Gretel these days at restaurants ... just follow the trail of little food bits! It is excellent fun.
The teething has been accompanied by some slight fussiness on Roxi's part, but nothing like the 24-hour, feverish, tear-filled experience we were led to expect. She's her usual zesty self, just with a triple helping of slobber.
