Linn’s First Tooth!

By Lena Trondson • January 15, 2008

January 14th, 2008 was a milestone for Linn! She got her very first tooth yesterday. The night before she had been a bit fussy after we put her to bed for the night. She kept waking up every 20-30 minutes crying hard and loud. She would only calm down if I rocked her and held her. After doing so a few times during the evening, I gave her some baby orajel and some baby Tylenol and she settled down and slept through the night. I left for work in the morning and picked her up around lunch time.

When we got home, we played on the floor and she started biting my finger and I felt something sharp in her mouth. At first, I thought she had put something in her mouth. Well, it turned out to be her front lower left tooth! She met another milestone and now we have to wait for the other 19 primary teeth to pop up as well.
