We have teefers!

As of 9/19 Rydee Roo had TWO little teeth poke through on the bottom, front and center. Now they are almost all the way in and they are SO adorable! He wasn't fussy at all so we didn't even know he had was teething until the 19th, when we noticed one was barely poking through. By the next day, he had TWO! However...since then, he is miserable, whining and crying for no reason. He takes his paci out and bites down on the hard plastic part. He bites the nipple on his bottle and pops it in and out of his mouth. Our only guess is he is still teething, maybe new teeth? Or maybe these two teeth that have poked through are really starting to hurt? I don't know, but whatever the case, it makes me sad because he is so sad. He is inconsolable. And it's just SO not like him! All of a sudden he is fighting sleep BAD. He used to just lay down and fall asleep. We bragged on him all the time because you just had to lay him in his crib and he would fall asleep! Now, you have to rock, bounce, swing, beg, PRAY and he finally falls asleep. Last night we gave him a little Tylenol to help with the pain, but I hate doing that, not knowing if it truly is his teeth bothering him.

Being a mommy is hard. I can't believe in two weeks he'll be SEVEN months old. It just doesn't seem possible!
