First Teeth!!

Gavin got his first teeth this weekend, or at least this is when we noticed them :-).  He got super fussy Saturday afternoon while I was over at a friend's house, which is SO not like him, and then after we made a quick exit (I was the only one there with a child and everyone was trying to watch the GA game) he SCREAMED the whole way home.  All I could think was that somehow the smoke that was in the air had made his lungs hurt or something, I felt like such an awful Mom for even taking him outside.  Well after Clay got home from hunting and was holding Gavin trying to calm him down, he noticed two white things in the top of Gavin's mouth.  Well let me tell you Gavin was none to happy about our further investigation!  But after a few tries we finally got him to hold his head still enough to see that his two front teeth had broken through!  So of course we were super excited and relieved.  I was so amazed also that this was all the drama we had.  We did have trouble feeding him the two prior nights, which was unusual but other than that, he didn't act like anything was wrong at all.  He is such a wonderful baby!  What a blessing!!

We went to the park yesterday to eat with my parent's, little brother, and his girlfriend Ashley.  They were home from Houston for a couple of days.  Ashley is a budding photographer so I asked her to take some pictures of Gavin for me while they were here.  She did an awesome job, I can't wait to see the finished products!  She also happened to notice that Gavin was getting another tooth on the bottom!  It hasn't completely broken through but you could see part of it.  You could also tell where the one next to it was also coming to the surface.  At this rate he will have a full set of teeth before Thanksgiving!
