Teeth

Malcolm cut his second tooth this afternoon (bottom left of centre). I don't know about him but as far as I'm concerned teething sucks. I would be very happy if he never grew any teeth and I had to continue to feed him mush forever, I love the gummy grin. My little boy has been playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde yesterday and today, from his happy playful self and turning on a dime into a screaming banshee. I gave in just now and gave him Tempra after trying everything else and he is sitting on my lap contentedly watching Bridget chase her tail.

A happier moment from yesterday

Ahhh... teething.... I'm always happy to hear someone who has the same thoughts on this subject as me... sometimes Tempra / Tylenol is the lifesaver!!!!

You know, he looks like a mini Ashley and Larry combined in that picture :)

Sorry about the teeth thing Malcolm, chew on lots of frozen fruit cubes in the feeder - it got Leo through some rough days. Oh and Tempra too :)

We had a few days in January where Tempra was the ONLY answer for teething woes. Will seems to like a home-made teether better than the plastic ones...we just take a little "baby" facecloth, wet it, put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, and he seems to get a lot of relief from chewing on it. Great pic of Malcolm and Mommy!

My favorite teether (both for efficacy and the way it looked) was the peeled carrot straight from the refrigerator. The orange hands for the rest of the day were kinda cute too.
