Toofies, toofies


According to this nice chart I found at ada.org, I think, Chunk has had numbers 25,24, & 23 in for awhile. #10 broke thru a week ago, #8 is almost thru, and #'s 7 and 9 are very close behind. I don't think he can tug on his mouth any more than he is right now. I feel so bad for him. Not sure what happened to 23's buddy, #26. Just hasn't come in yet. It will later. (For anyone who knows the difference between adult teeth numbering and baby teeth number, I realize that this system is technically for adult teeth!)
The good news, after this current round of teeth break thru, he SHOULD get a break from active teething for a little while. (Lord willing!) Which will hopefully mean some better sleep at night again.
Oh please oh please oh please oh please.

L - Try dipping your finger in infant benadryl and wiping it over his gums twice. This will help with the itching feeling and will get you both some sleep. My friend told me this so I would be prepared...I passed it on to my other friend who has a son two weeks older than Noah. She said she does it at night and works wonders. It is such a little bit of the medicine that you don't have to worry that you are doping your child!
