After what seems like forever, Dash finally has a tooth poking through his lower gums.
There was one point in while he was in the NICU that we thought he might have been teething, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Over the last few weeks he had been showing the symptoms again: excessive drooling, fussyness, and wanting to grind his gums on stuff. Within the last 3 days it became notably worse, he didn’t want his pacifier, and he kept putting fingers in his mouth.
Today, he seemed a lot happier, and was taking his pacifier. Sometimes we’ll rub his gums on with our fingers, and before dinner I noticed it felt a little different. Sure enough a single tiny tooth had broken through. We tried to take a photo of it, but it’s basically impossible to get it in focus.
