Teething woes and a new tooth brush
My baby must be teething. Addi is usually a pretty good baby. For the most part she only cries if she is hungry, poopy or sleepy. I can handle all of those things pretty easily, but with these random spats of out right crying I don't know what to. The other night she just woke up screaming and it took me a half hour to calm her down. She will start crying randomly during the day and she wake up several times a night (she usually only wakes up once at 5 or 6 am). Jared says she has to tooth buds but no teeth have peeked through yet.
Jared being the soon to be pediatric dentist that he is wants to take nightly pictures of her mouth to observe the changes as they take place. Addi doesn't like this idea so much, but she loves the new tooth brush daddy brought home for her tonight.
We gave her the tooth brush and she knew exactly what to do with it (it helps that she puts everything in her mouth). Jared tried to take the tooth brush to brush her gums and she did not like that and started crying.
I thought that maybe it hurt her to have her sore gums brushed, but she stopped crying as soon as Jared handed the tooth brush back to her.
She just wanted to do it herself. She takes after her mother. Some of my first words were "me do".
