Benny Ray Has a Tooth!

Although you can't really see it here:


This little incipient tooth is just barely visible, poking out of his bottom gums. In order to detect it you must either put a finger in his mouth and run it along his gums (a process that he is not totally averse to), or hold his head steady while you immobilize his tongue and push down his lower lip (he is more averse to this method of tooth detection).

This news was met with simultaneous pleasure and sadness on the part of his parents. Pleasure, because the little white cap appearing out of his gums is so damn cute. Sadness, because he is getting bigger too quickly! We love that toothless grin too much to give it up so soon!

(Also, his mother has begun to imagine unpleasant scenarios involving teeth and nipples.)

Good Lord, I just realized I'm looking at the second the most adorable baby in the world.

Also, from his photo, it's like _you've_ stolen _him_ from the gypsies. Like "Ha! Take _that_, gypsies!".

I belive "Roma" is the preferred nomenclature. As in, "Ha! Take that, Roma!"

Second most adorable baby indeed...

We must say that EBMcFee is quite a looker, though.

Now you get to enjoy the couple-of-teeth grin. Just as heartwearming.

also - EBMM loves the older men - especially those with teeth.
