Well I must say that I was blessed with a good teether (knock on wood) , I definitely don't want to jinx myself. Maybe I should re-state that. I was blessed with a baby who cut his first two teeth with not too much trouble. I will say that Ryan and I have been blessed with probably the best little baby boy ever (again knock on wood). Everytime we go out we constantly get comments on his blue eyes (that's a given...he will definitely woo the girls with his piercing eyes) but we also almost ALWAYS get compliments on how well behaved and what a happy baby we have. A mom yesterday at pets mart was talking about how good he was being in his stroller and how most babies especially hers would start to fuss if the stroller wasn't moving but he was just sitting there looking around. Don't get me wrong my child has his moments just like any other; but, really all around Ryan and I were blessed with such a happy baby. Well about a week ago we noticed he was whining more than normal. Rarely ever does Kale just whine unless he is hungry or wants to move on to a new toy. Well he had started to just whine at times and nothing pleased him. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't think about the possibility of him cutting a tooth. He wasn't ridiculously fussy at all. I had noticed that he had increased drool and was chewing on his toys ALOT so one day I just happened to stick my finger in his mouth to check out his gums and low and behold he had cut his first tooth. My hand grazed over his gums and in the front got caught on his first tooth :) I was such a happy mommy. I looked and there it was sticking out of the gum. Ryan and I were so happy and praised him on cutting his first tooth and what a big boy he was. Well I have always heard once they break through the gum it no longer hurts the baby; but he was still being fussy and acting like his gums were bothering him. My mom told me that teeth normally come in pairs so he was probably trying to cut another one. So when he acted like he was in pain I gave him some teething tablets, and at night I would give him tylenol to help him sleep through the night without waking up with his teeth bothering him. Well yesterday I checked his gums to see if another tooth had popped up and sure enough he has now cut his front two bottom teeth :)
