Houston, we have a tooth

Well, the beginnings of one at least. I had long since given up on Nicholas having any teeth any time soon. He can gum things to death with the best of them, and I figured they would arrive in their own sweet time.
This morning as I was feeding him, I felt a weird scraping noise on the bottom of the spoon. Yet, I couldn't see a thing looking into his mouth. Finally made him angry enough to open wide and voila…a little bridge of white! I tried my best to get a photo, but frankly, that makes him very angry…and you wouldn't like him when he's angry (does that sound familiar to anyone?).
So, here is a pic of him getting every last drop (pea-sized bit) of banana last night. I have resorted to having him wear the full-body armor as otherwise his outfit absorbs almost as much food as he does.
He also had his 9 month appointment and all is well. He has met every milestone the doctor mentioned and a few she didn't. I almost had a run-in with a nurse, but thankfully things worked out. It just really irks me when folks forget that babies are not 'one size fits all'. One would think those who worked with them would know better, but…
