Gummy

About four weeks ago, I took this photo, knowing it was likely the last gums-only photo we'd get. Look at that smile... (wait, if there are no teeth, is it still a smile?) (yes! of course it is!)

Storey had no teeth until she was about 13 months old. Then, in the last three weeks she's gotten her bottom two and top right teeth all one right after another. This week the next two teeth on the bottom and the left top tooth is making their way. Let's just say there's a lot of extra nursing and crabbiness due to lack of sleep going on in our house.

I've wondered lately if the way a kid gets their teeth is premonitory of how they'll do other things in life. Will Storey delay learning to drive until she's 29 and then become a cross country semi truck driver? Never pick up an instrument until she's 47, then proudly we'll sit at her Carnegie Hall debut?

Kids. What funny little people.
