After weeks of constantly being asked if Zara is "teething" due to the copious amounts of drool pouring from her mouth, last Thursday I was finally convinced that yes, indeed, there may be a tooth in sight. We were on our way back to Hilton after visiting Grandpa at the hospital when I noticed at white line, pretty much like a tooth....Wow! could this be, all of 5 and a half months old???
Later that afternoon, she had a bit of a temperature but nothing too hectic, so I was now pretty sure we were going to be boasting the new tooth to all the family in Natal. On Friday morning I had a look again but the tooth was GONE! I know that this can happen - apparently teeth can come up and down for weeks on end before they eventually cut through. So with all the other goings on we soon enough forgot about the "almost tooth". Then on Monday when she had a bit of a runny tum and a bit of a temperature again, I suspected that this may be the allusive tooth again. Not wanting to get too excited, I didn't say anything to Chris and just let her be. The this morning I had a look in her mouth and low and behold there it was.... the very first teeny tiny tooth!
Well done Zara! You are just too clever and have you have truly been so good humoured about this, I can only hope you'll pop out all your teeth as easily as this first one.
(maybe the amber teething necklace she has been wearing for the past few weeks really does make a difference????)

Cute photos!
Is that gonna b your sweet tooth Zara?
Can't believe that she can already be cutting teeth, but the evidence is definitely there. She's very smiley, too, for a teething baby, so maby the amber beads do work.
Hi Now that I have the strength to move the mouse, I am back on line!!Thanks for comng down to be with us whilst I was in hospital and for being so kind to Heather. Those little shoes at the end of my bed in St Annes were certainly a real inspiration. Little Zara is certainly developing a little character all of her own. It is written all over her face.Glad she likes Bloomberg TV - perhaps a partner for Dad one day. Not so sure about the rugby however - not very feminine- or perhaps she just likes the boys!
Lots of love from Graham and Heather.
