a milestone

Well today has been a bit of a dreary day. It all started very early this morning when i woke up with a stomach bug. I have spent most of the day curled up on the couch. Today is not a bad day for that as a front is moving through town and it is rainy outside. Jeff has been a saint taking care of the Champ,,,if you hadn't guessed, I really love him. But on to more important things...

Champ today did a typically Champ thing, he grabbed a hold of my finger and shoved in into his mouth. Normally it's just a gum gnawing, but today...it hurt. Champ has sprouted his first tooth. It is a lower tooth on the right side. My little one is growing up. I have to say this is a very good thing. He has been teething for quite a while with no success. The other main problem is he loves to eat. His diversity in eating has been stymied by his lack of teeth. Until now he could only manage things he could mash with his toothless gums. Teeth will help that process greatly.

I will post a picture in a little while when his teeth are visible. For now it is just a hard white bump I can see when he sits still and lets me look in his mouth, which is not often.
