Now that I am on the other side of the first two teeth and teething I can see that it was way worse than I ever could have imagined. The constant drooling and gnawing on everything (including me) was quite the challenge. Not the mention the extra night wakings, the extra crying at night, and just over all fussiness. All teething related. Only 18 more baby teeth to go!
We now have a very happy baby who smiles most of the time, takes 2-3 45 minute naps a day and who (most of the time) goes to bed without too much of a fuss. Right now he has a meal around 8:45 p.m. then goes to bed, and wakes to eat around 11:30p.m. and then between 4 and 5 a.m. Typically he goes back to sleep for about an hour after that and our day starts (with lots of coffee) somewhere between 6 and 7:30 a.m.
He also has had plenty of firsts the past couple of weeks. First ride in the stroller with out the infant car seat, first bites of rice cereal, first swim in a baby pool, and first bath in the big bath tub! It's all so much fun..now if I could just get this baby to sleep longer than 5 hours at a time :)
