Ivo & Burl in Teething Town





At dinner tonight, Ivo spooned some quinoa right off the edge of his tray on to the floor. I was kinda cranky and crankily told him not to do that. He said, "Well," - long pause - "blah, blah, blah."


Burl woke up around 5:30am. Ivo around 8. Burl couldn't nap w/o being held and Ivo has sworn naps off. I'm tired. Ryan's tired. Ivo's not!


Ivo has been teething hard and painful the last 3 days - final baby teeth, the dreaded molars, are mercilessly pushing up - haven't broken through the tender skin yet. When I say "final," I mean the final 4. So far, no sign of the upper ones. Occassionally, Ivo cries and moans about his teeth. He asks for medicine. He's been having several doses of Hyland's Teething Tablets each day and usually one dose of motrin. Ivo's apetite is really good - but he can only eat soft things - everything else - anything requiring chewing - causes him to wince and cry. Silly guy asked for popcorn today! Washing his face and brushing his teeth are also painful.
I think Burl's teething too - bottom fronts. His gums seem different there - but no teeth have peaked out yet. Aside from nursing a lot and wanting to be held constantly, I don't think he's too uncomfortable.
