Teeth Extravaganza

It’s teeth time again! And it has been for a couple weeks. Sean’s working on 6 teeth this time. That’s right: SIX! Let’s go to the chart:The first eight teeth came in by November; they’re in dark blue. Then we got the first two molars poking through in mid-January; they’re in light blue. These past couple weeks or so, we’ve seen the other two first-year molars and two of the canines poke through; those are in orange. And right now, we’re on the cusp of seeing the other two canines come in; those are in yellow. Meanwhile all the six teeth are pushing and grinding their way through the gums in the way these bigger teeth do. Poor Sean is all drool and gnawing on anything he can find. For the first time in a while, the teething is really disrupting his sleep. And with only one nap, it’s hard to catch up. Poor thing. I keep thinking that maybe if we’re lucky (knock on wood) after a couple more weeks of these six teeth, we’ll get a l-o-n-g teething break before the second year molars. Almost 80% done with baby teeth. Wahoo!
