The past few days have been difficult, to say the least. Oliver’s top teeth are coming in and from what I can tell, they are making him VERY uncomfortable. In fact, they are making him so miserable that I have decided that until further notice, he will only be referred to as “teething baby.”
To give you an idea about how this week has gone, I offer you some of the lessons I have learned:
- Teething baby cries a lot. Loudly.
- Teething baby can go from hysterical laughter to shrieking screams in 0.7 seconds.
- Teething baby suddenly has a nose that works like a faucet.
- Teething baby DOES NOT want his runny nose wiped.
- Teething baby DOES NOT want you to stick your finger in his mouth to check his gums 87 times a day to see if the tooth has finally come through, OMG.
- Teething baby wakes up at night approximately 6 times.
- Teething baby screams bloody murder when he wakes up at night.
- Teething baby will only go back to sleep if he is being held.
- Teething baby wakes up and screams as soon as you put him back in his own bed.
- Teething baby is very restless if he is sleeping in my bed.
- Teething baby thinks his brother’s flip flops are the BEST teethers available.
- Teething baby will put anything in his mouth when there are no flip flops available.
- Teething baby has nasty diapers.
- Teething baby is a horrible napper.
Thank goodness this whole teething business is only temporary. For both of our sakes.

Poor baby, I always thought it was so wrong that babies go through such pain to get their teeth. I hope he feels better soon.
