Oh How Fun, Teething!

Poor little man is all I can think when I look at Joey. After being really moody for about 3 days I finally took him to the doctor's to see what was wrong and to make sure it wasn't anything serious. The doctor informed me that his ears, chest and throat are all good but it looks like he is cutting his 1 year molars on the top and the bottom. For a little boy who didn't have any teeth until after he turned 1 years old his teeth are on the war path and are coming in in full force. We are trying to help him through this ordeal with baby orajel and tylenol but he still is not his happy self. Yesturday Hailey and I were talking to Joey and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Oh Joey, when Hailey was teething she wasn't so moody she was tough, be tough
Hailey: Grrrrrrrrrrr
Joey: (smiling) Laughs!!
Me: This is why girls are tougher cause we aren't wimpy
Hailey: Grrrrrrrrrr
Me & Hailey: (singing) Wimpy Wimpy Wimpy
Joey: Laughing Hysterically

Last night I even said that if his teeth don't cut through soon I was going to cut into his gums and take them out myself. I know that doesn't sound pleasant but that goes to show how unhappy my usual happy little man is.

Eek! Good luck to you all during the teething ordeal. I'm still waiting for Mateo to cut 1 tooth.
And I agree whole-heartedly, girls are much tougher than boys ;)
