Teething Sucks! (...or Bites?)

Cam has been teething. His very first little tooth made it's debut Thursday and we were SO excited! He was still pretty fussy however and so I checked it out and sure enough, his second one is pushing it's way up right next door.

It looks really close. I thought it would be in today but no such luck. Hopefully tomorrow.

Cameron's symptoms include a waterfall of drool at any given time, gnawing on his fist to the point of gagging, cranky and needy. You can tell he's trying to be brave and sweet but it's just so hard.

I feel bad for the little guy. In response to my question "Is teething as bad as it sounds?" The pediatrician responded, "Do you know how it feels teething? It's like the biggest bone in one's body piercing through his flesh and skin!"

OUCH! I wish I could take it away from him :( I guess this is just the beginning of a life of pain that I have zero control of. This is going to be difficult for me.

  3. Poor little guy. Mercedes still has no teeth at 10 1/2 months! Someday she will have to go through it too, I guess!
