First Teeth

Poor Avery is having a terrible time with teething. Just like Miles, she got her first tooth on her five month birthday. Unlike Miles, she has all of the teething woes. Miles drooled HORRIBLY, so does Avery, but she also runs a temp, chews on everything, gets flushed, doesn't sleep, screams and cries, gets a runny nose and seems to cough from the acidic saliva. She takes baby tylenol several times a day on a bad day and wakes up every hour and a half at night (to eat) on a bad night....lucky me!!

I don't have any pictures, because she won't let you anywhere near her mouth unless she's getting fed, but by sheer luck I got my finger in her mouth and felt tooth number one had broken through and that tooth number two, its neighbor, was close behind. So in case we are counting, I am going on five months and five days without sleep. Is it crazy to say "all I want for Valentine's Day is a nap"? Does Russell Stover sell that in a heart shaped box?? Well, they should!!!
