Ju's first front incisors are out!
Last week Daniel's finger got a good chomp down and when we pried open his mouth we saw a pearly little white just barely showing below the lower gum. It was rather sore looking and explained all the moaning he's been doing in the middle of the night.
Saturday we checked again and lo and behold! Two little babies peeking out from the gums. TWO.
My parents are amazed. A few of my friends' kids who are slightly older than Ju haven't started teething yet. We gave Ju his first toothbrush to play around with and he ended up with a waterfall of drool down his chin. Pigeon has a nice range, we bought the 3-in-one, with the beginner's brush for 2-3 teeth and two more for the next stages.
Poor Ju, meanwhile, is still waking in the night. It's likely from his growth hormones pushing the baby teeth out. He's not had any other symptoms besides waking in the night (we have to coax him back to sleep) but that means we have interrupted sleep as well. Ironic that it the sleep issues only came because of his teething. We'll have to adjust to his night interruptions in the meantime and hope the poor chap gets over the pain soon and get back to sleeping through.

My wife and I were excited and happy too when our son started growing teeth. He was one month older than Ju when he finally had his first set of teeth. Our babies can truly give us a kind of joy that no one else can make us feel. I'm a very proud daddy! =)
