Baby Teeth

Joe kept telling me that he thought Maia was teething because she's been chewing on things, has been a little cranky lately (which, to me, I can't tell the difference because she's always cranky...her nickname is MJ Cranky Pants according to cousin Autumn), and she's been so drooly (which, again, she's always drooly to me). Well, today, I was feeding Maia and I thought I saw white on her gums, but I thought it was just milk in her mouth. Lo and behold I run my finger over her bottom gums and there's a tiny sharp spot right in front that has broken through. I couldn't believe it. It shocked me because to me she's not supposed to get teeth until she's 6 months or so. I now wonder how long it will take to grow in and when the second tooth will poke through.

As a side note, Maia's hair is also thinning out and I am afraid it's going to come in blonde. I love her dark hair. I think it is so cute with her bright blue eyes.
