Amaryllis was beginning to have me worried that she wasn't going to get teeth. That probably sounds silly, but all my other kids had teeth by now. Jericho was the latest to cut a tooth and he had one on his 6 month birthday. She is getting close to 7 months and was still gumming it up with no signs of teeth.
This kid is the one who has made me question all my baby-handling skills...right down to if I somehow didnt give her teeth while in the womb. I can't make her sleep through the night, I couldn't make her stop screaming for nearly 3 months, I can't seem to make her want to roll over or sit up either. She's determined to help me keep it humble. (I know I really can't make a baby do any of those things, but I guess after 3 babies you do tend to get a little cocky about your mommy skills. Point proven, fancy pants.)
Well the other day I just happened to notice that she had a tooth in her mouth. Where did that come from? She didn't make a peep in the process of getting it, and not only that, but the next day I realized she actually ahd TWO teeth broken through. I gotta say, I appreciate her low maintenance teething after how fancy she's been with so many other things. We still have some work to do on that sleeping through the night thing. 7 months without a full night's sleep really starts to make a person's eye twitch.

Jocelyn has humbled me in the same way. And if you figure out the sleeping thing, please share! Jocelyn has slept through the night two out of the last 14 days. Not that I'm keeping track or anything
