Oh say can you see .....

...the 3 new teeth popping through Elaina's gums ! It's true - the child who has had only two little, bottom teeth for the past 5 months is getting at least 3 new ones - all at the same time ! That would explain her bouts with the "fussies" and her restless sleep. Unlike the last time she got teeth in, she has not been drooling like a leaky faucet and didn't get a cold this time either. She has become a little bit more clingy, which is okay by me as I love to soak her with hugs and kisses anyhow. And we haven't had to rely on the use of Tylenol or Baby Ora-gel to soothe her. My friend had introduced me to Highland's Teething Tablets which seem to relieve much of her discomfort - and they're all natural. So far, we've been able to see two of her "eye-teeth" up top and one on the bottom right side have begun to surface this time around. She has been pretty protective of her new chompers as she isn't a big fan of anyone digging around in her mouth to investigate. I can't say that I blame her, but it would be nice to get a clear view of what's going on in her little mouth.
