Baby Teeth

I dreamed last night of a baby, held in someone's arms, not mine, and I talking to the baby and to the one who held her. I said something to the effect that the baby would soon be at the stage to start putting everything in her mouth, and at this very moment she grabbed my hand and raised it, with some force, to her mouth. The side of my index finger felt so clearly in the dream those little hard soft gums, the dribble and the determination, and I said oh, those little teeth will soon be coming through...
