So, THIS is teething...

Claire has been fairly late getting her teeth. Her first pearly white didn't pop through until she was nearly a year old. She now has her four top front, two front bottom and most of one molar in and NOT ONCE has she been bothered by any of it.

Until now....

I don't think I've can ever recall a time where Claire has been in a worse mood. I guess I should thank my lucky stars that she is such a good, calm baby in general, but oh my goodness have the last few days been hell.

At first, I didn't really get it. She has been extra needy all day, she's been cranky after her wake-ups and she's just needed to be held,. She's been particularly bad after waking up from her nap and she has struggled through lunch and dinner. At times, it seemed that there was nothing that could calm her. Not even sitting on Mommy's lap, watching Sesame Street, eating gummy fish....

Andy felt around in her mouth the other day and said, "Oh, there are a few bumps", but it wasn't until I felt around myself when I realized that she now has THREE molars coming in at once.

Ah ha! So, that is the problem.

And now, I have learned, that Tylenol is my friend.
