today was a very big day for our baby girl...not only has she developed her first cough (sadly) but she has also sprouted her first tooth!! frank met me at work this morning, for our usual friday morning car (+baby) swap, so that i can do the grocery shopping while the boys are all at school and he can head off to work. well, while hanging out at Starbucks for a few minutes, Sicilya started coughing this terrible sounding cough. my poor girl! she'd had a bit of a runny nose earlier in the week and the boys and i had all been sick, so i wasnt entirely surprised.
but what did surprise me while i watched her little cough was the white tooth poking through her gums on the bottom left!! she has been chewing and drooling for about a month now - but i would have never guessed we were that close to getting teeth! it seems so soon!!
naturally, every time i try to catch a glimps now, she either bites my finger or sticks her tongue out - so please be patient on a picture of this one - it could take me a little while!!
im hoping that the cough is really nothing more than a result of a busy week of teething, i really hope i have been able to spare her this nasty cold we all had. and it is just amazing to me how quickly she is growing up, i wish more than anything that i could slow things down a bit, but tuscan is my living proof that slowing their childhoods down is next to impossible. so instead i will charish every moment to the best of my ability, i will document as many of the precious memories as i can and i will carry as much love in my heart as it can possibly hold. everyday is a blessing and we never know what tomorrow will bring, so charish it while its within our reach!
