I keep waiting for the teeth and nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Hm. But there is nothing not amazing about bedazzled stuff.

I think 7 months is the typical age for the first tooth to pop through, though in my experience, they start teething around 3 months (right when they more or less outgrow colic) and teethe nonstop until age 2. Or maybe that’s just me. But I am now picturing a whole craft kit for bedazzling your baby–pacifiers, glittery barrettes, and yes, dentures! It could be a whole special aisle at Michaels. And you know I’d be first in line to fill my baby’s mouth with sparky little chokables!

My son didn’t pop out teeth until 9 months- then 2 on top, 2 on bottom, all at once. Since then I’ve claimed teething every 2 weeks or so, but he didn’t actually cut any more teeth until last week (14mo). I did start him on soft finger foods before he got teeth though- those cheerio puff things are great. Wait, I mean homemade teething bread. Yeah, that.

“I wuv you” makes up for a lot.
Kids and puppies wouldn’t survive if they weren’t cute, would they?

Alex sounds suspiciously like BOTH my kids… maybe Ben is the anomaly?

It took me awhile. I had my browser window open for awhile while I thought, but I came up with it. I’m glad you like it!

Wasn’t Mimi a premie? They can take longer to get their teeth than a baby born at full term. My friend has a daughter 11 months older than my son, and my son got teeth before her daughter did. Of course even as baby he was an overachiever and one day when he was three months old he opened his mouth and there were four teeth!!!

I don’t know if they make baby dentures but you could get her a pair of those plastic teeth kids play with.

You should totally get an etsy shop and sell the blinged out paci’s. Then you will be able to afford the braces she might one day need when those suckers finally come in.
