First Tooth

A few nights ago, Jessica oddly woke up before her dream feed a little fussy. She did that a 1 or 2 nights then yesterday she was ok. We thought it might have been her teeth that were bugging her and today I went to feel her gums and there is definitely one starting to pop out on the bottom! I figured the first tooth was going to come relatively early (they say it comes at 7 months old, on average) because apparently both Russ and I had our first tooth at 5 months and the age that it comes is hereditary!

I want to say YAY for Jessica's first tooth, especially since so far her fussiness has been minimal...I just hope she doesn't start biting down when she's nursing!! =)

Jess has definitely improved in her ability to roll over too - this morning (while I was at the gym she had some time with Russ) she rolled over from back to tummy and tummy to back about 10 times...back and forth, back and forth. Way to go Jessica!! Next milestone we're waiting for is her ability to sit up on her own. We're noticing she's definitely getting stronger, so we'll be sure to keep you updated!

The first tooth. Wow! She's growing up fast! ;)
Don't worry about the biting. If she has a good latch, it shouldn't be a problem. The only thing is, you want to make sure you're careful when you unlatch her... and oh, don't startle her while she's nursing! :O

I am so enjoying all your Jess updates, it brings back the sweet memories of Kayleigh at that age, even though it was only a few months ago. Yep, the first bite while nursing is fun :) :)
