Teething

For about the past 4 months I have been told that Everett is going to get teeth anytime. At his 4 month checkup the doctor even thought he was getting teeth. He drooled constantly, and was always chewing on things. Well, he finally has teeth! He has two on the bottom and his two vang teeth are coming in up top. Todd has been calling him our vampire baby!

I've learned that there is some good and bad when it comes to teething. The good...he's getting teeth. The bad...he's teething...he's cranky...he wont sleep well....he's gotten the worst diaper rash...Honestly I'm ready for the teething stage to be over, but I've been told that it's only just begun:)

Everett's usually a pretty happy baby. Everyone usually comments how he's always smiling. This is the baby we've come to know and love:

And this is the baby that has been residing with us for the past few weeks:

At least he's still cute! No, I feel bad for him cause I can tell he hurts. It's been getting a lot better. Especially as we've been learning what works and what really doesn't. We try to go and see how far the teeth have come and he gets tight lipped. If we even get close to his mouth with our hands he starts to tighten them. His bottom two are pretty noticeable now. He's even starting to learn how to use them. I gave him an apple slice the other day and he bit off a chunk!

The past couple weeks have made all 3 of us a little irritable. Maybe myself more than others:) Like I've said before Everett's a really good baby. So when he's really fussy, or just not feeling good Todd and I kinda have a hard time cause we sometimes don't know what to do. We are learning! With a few close to sleepless nights and rough day, we still can't get enough of him, teething and all.
