Sad news, Good news

On a solemn note, Preston's great-grandma Burnett passed away this week. Fortunately Matt was able to visit her last week and say "good-bye" on Preston's and my behalf. I think this brought us all a lot of comfort. She was a wonderful woman whom I always thought of as a surrogate-grandma, as I lost both of mine when I was very young. She was a spitfire packed in a 4'10" frame. She will be missed.

In other news...after 13 months, Preston's 1st tooth has finally emerged. It's on the bottom left, second from the middle. It's good, because quite frankly, I was starting to get concerned. For the past few weeks he seems to have been working on some teeth, but then again, he starting showing teething signs at 6 months, so I wasn't getting my hopes up. Fortunately it hasn't been bothering him too much, so besides having his hands in his mouth pretty much all day long, he hasn't been any crankier than usual. (Not to imply that he is a cranky baby.)
