Teeth
This weekend was rough. Rough because 9 month old's molar is coming in. Its arriving with a vengence. 9 month old is a tough guy but even this broke him. It would start at 11pm the crying. "Ok I thought he's hungry, sure whatever". Bottle did not help. Singing and rocking did not help. Water did not help. Diaper change did not help. Finally from exhaustion he went to sleep only to awake again two hours later. This round we both cried. He sat in the middle of his bedroom floor and I sat in the rocking chair and we both cried. "Stop crying" I told him and he just stared at me, his face red and blotchy. "Please, stop crying" I pleaded. He saterd at me and then we cried some more. Finally at 3am I realized it was his teeth. It was the molar that the pediatrician and poined out last week. I got generic baby Tylenal and put gel on his teeth. Once I did this he smiled and reach up and touched my face. "Thank you woman for finally understanding". Since then it has been rough, but at least I now how to help him.
