It only took...

... 8 months and 5 days for Luke to get his first tooth! You can't really see it in this picture, but I'll try to get a close up and post it to the blog. What a week this has been! On Tuesday, I was in Chicago for work - of course, this is the day that daycare calls me and says that Luke has a fever, is crying uncontrollably and is just not himself. I told them to give him some Tylenol (which is a whole different story). When Richard went to pick him up, they said that he had diarrhea and was giving it to the other kids and couldn't come back to daycare until it cleared up. So, I attempted to work from home on Wednesday and Friday and Richard took off Thursday. We called the pediatrician and they said that the fever was probably related to the teething, but the diarrhea wasn't, but not to bring him in because there wouldn't be anything they could do. I have polled my girlfriends and have done on-line research and I beg to differ with Dr. Jackson. Most everyone agrees that teething and diarrhea are related. He also has a cold which I figured he got from the flights to and from Chicago, but some experts also believe that teething causes a runny nose also. I'm just really hoping that he doesn't have this with every tooth that comes in or we are going to be in serious trouble with daycare!
