i think almost every parent would attempt at some point to capture the emerging iceberg tips of their child’s tooth/teeth from their gums.

well, at least i did. lol!

a seemingly heartless attempt of crushing his cheeks to pry open his mouth. :p

their bottom teeth generally appear first, and i was getting worried that they hadn’t started making their grand entrance after months of waiting, but i think late appearance of teeth is probably the last thing to worry about.

in fact, better late for us nursing mums, hehe.

i thought there’d be teething problems and expected the worst, like fever, crankiness and/or rejection of food or milk, but so far, they just popped out without us even realising it. it must have been that high threshold of pain of his at work again, not minding the sore gums and extra drooling, and in fact, having even more fun chewing on every object in his path.
