First Tooth!

Colt has cut his very first tooth at 5 months! I didn't want to mention how bad he has been at night b/c he was such a good boy all day on Sunday with all the festivities, I didn't want to ruin a good post...so I ignored that part of the night. I've actually been at home sick with some kind of virus and have been quarantined from everyone for 2 days. Deborah had to go pick up the boys from MMO yesterday and the nursery workers told her that Colt was cutting a tooth! When D told me about this huge milestone...I felt an overwhelming abundance of guilt that I didn't discover it first and that I've been letting Colt "cry it out" at night, when obviously he was in pain:( I did consider that it could be a tooth, but I've read that it is rare to cut a tooth before the age of 6 months. What a bad mother!! Well, I am still super excited about the tooth and I got to finally see it today...it has broken through. See pic...it's really hard to see but you can see a little speckle of white (if you click on the picture you can get an up close look).
