the cutest gums i have ever laid eyes on

Of all the things Elle would accomplish throughout her 1st year, the last thing I expected to get emotional over is her 1st tooth.  It’s barely poking out and it makes me so sad.  I love her toothless grin more than life itself and I just can’t even begin to imagine what she’s going to look like with a mouth full of teeth.  I just want her to look like a baby a little teeny tiny bit longer.  Only the bottom two are making progress, so I hope the other ones take their time.  I shed a couple tears when I felt that little tooth… I’m thinking I should buy stock in Kimberly-Clark (makers of Kleenex) because I have a long, teary road ahead of me.  Did I mention I love being a mommy to that little girl?
