3V0138.04 Teething and Early Sounds 06/09/78

Peggy has shown well developed skill in bringing her hands to her mouth. Last weekend the smooth arch of her lower gum appeared bumpy in front, and Tuesday morning the lower stage right tooth had pushed through the gum. The major sign of teething activity has been hand in mouth, to the extent that when she is sat up to be burped, her hand goes right into the mouth. She also goes to sleep and sleeps so.

Two days ago Peggy had a long nap in the afternoon. When she awoke, towards dinner time, she began amusing herself by making the sound known as a Bronx cheer. She continued off and on all evening working on this new accomplishment, and the next day as well.
