This look just about sums up Miles' mood this past week. Teething has descended upon us with full force. The drooling, gumming, fussing, fist-in-mouth, and frequent explosives in the diaper are giveaways. Not to mention that I can see both the top two and bottom two teeth moving toward the surface. Poor kid. It doesn't help that he has refused to take a pacifier since he was about 5 months old. And he doesn't seem to like the teething toys we've given him. He prefers his hands, or my hands, or my face...I hope this doesn't last too long.

Oh, I sure do hope it goes by fast for you!!! At least he's GETTING teeth! :)I think Joselyn may be toothless for the rest of her life.
A little Tylenol, a little Motrin, rubbing the gums with your fingers or ice, anything to help soothe the pain. Parenthood, and it just keeps going . . . . .

Try giving him celery too. It's nice and cold out of the fridge, but he can't bite all the way through it and choke on it. Also, I've heard that it has a natural numbing agent in it.
