Just one? Poor little Roxanne. She's having about an hour a night where she is inconsolable and howling. She tugs at her ears and rubs her eyes (occasionally jamming a chubby little finger into one or both) and just generally seems pretty miserable. I know it's got to be teething. I swear I can feel her bottom two teeth just about to break through, but I have no frame of reference and cannot exactly call myself an expert. What exactly should it feel like when a baby's teeth are pushing through? I've been giving her a few Hyland's teething tablets, and they seem to be pretty wonderful. Usually within about fifteen minutes she is calm enough to nurse and fall asleep.
Roxanne turned 5 months old yesterday and she seems more or less on track with most things. She's getting more and more grabby and interested in everything, and she LOVES to eat with a spoon. Let me clarify: when we go to restaurants, we just hold Roxanne in our laps and let her hang out and maybe play with a toy. For the most part, she's a pretty laid back lady, and just sits politely trying to grab everything on our plate or on the table. So lately I have been dipping my spoon into a tiny bit of water and putting it into her mouth. She LOVES it. I think it's a combination of cold metal and cold water on her gums, but it works for her. And it looks adorable.
