Dentaphilia

I don't know if "dentaphilia" is the actual medical term for obsession with teeth (or even if such a term exists), but whatever you call such an ailment, I've definitely got it. I'm constantly staring at my baby's new incisors, I feel compelled to tell total strangers about them, and I've been struggling to get a good picture of them for the past two weeks.

Unfortunately, as those of you with children and cameras know all too well, trying to take a good baby picture is sort of like trying to photograph Bigfoot (i.e. well nigh impossible).

My perseverance finally paid off today, though. Joy was in a smiley mood, and I was able to snap a picture of her semi-toothy grin.


And here's the close-up we've all been waiting for. Thanks for sharing your smile, Joy.

  4. Great picture, and great smile! I remember being just that excited when G sprouted her first 2 teeth. Congratulations Mom & baby on the successful tooth sproutage!
