MacDad and I wonder how his teeth will change his smile and if he'll look goofy with two lone teeth. While I don't obsessively wonder about my son's dental development during my waking life, sometime I dream that he smiles, revealing a whole set of pearly whites. Strange.
In the meantime, he enjoys holding tubes of toothpaste and thinks that when we brush our teeth it's the funniest thing he's ever seen. So, I bought him his very own baby toothbrush. He enjoys chewing on it. Hopefully this leads to good dental hygiene practices. Soon enough, he'll be standing beside us at the sink, brushing his own teeth. For now, we still get a kick out of his gummy grin.

At seven months, our son has two front teeth and a third is emerging. Does MacBaby have trouble sleeping well at night because of his teething? Ours sure does! :)
MacBaby will sleep for twelve hours, but will wake up throughout the night for a few minutes each time and is not good at going back to sleep by himself. Therefore, I don't believe he is a good sleeper in general, so it is impossible to know if he's not sleeping well because of the teething or just because he's not sleeping well. I think, though, that on his crabbier days it's because his gums are hurting him. Overall, he's been a trooper with the teething!
