First Tooth and First Curl

Clara's first tooth came through last week! She's been teething for months, of course, but last Tuesday I felt in there and noticed the little razor-sharp edge of her bottom right incisor just cutting above the gum. She's gnawing on everything, often with a crazed wag of her head.

Perhaps you can see another of her firsts on the right of the picture above. Yes, that's a little curl above her ear! Her hair has come in thick and darker than the other kids'. I've wondered if it will be straight or curly. Maybe this is an indication she's headed in the right direction? I don't know--guess we'll have to wait and see!
