firsts.

i'm not really sure how to count firsts of this nature, but i want to mark them down for some kind of journalistic posterity.

may 8, mother's day: first time sitting up.  i guess?  in any case, you sat up for almost a whole minute, by yourself.  such a big girl!  since that day, you've been getting better and better and sitting for longer stretches.  this morning before i left for work, you were just hanging out, sitting across from vincent as y'all grabbed toys from each other.

may 14: first tooth!  you were up twice in the night on friday night to nurse, and your daddy discovered a little nub of a tooth, your bottom right, on saturday morning.  it looked just like a red cut in there that day, and now it looks mostly like a little piece of glass, but it is definitely there.  it's funny because at your appointment last week, the doc said your gums weren't even really swollen and we *might* see a tooth before seven months.  you've gotten up once or twice a night the last couple of nights, but other than that, you are not fussy or overly drool-y at all.  i am sure your little toothy smile will be absolutely precious!
