Bust a Tooth

or 2!!

Declan has 2 teeth coming in!! 2days ago his first one, the middle bottom, starting to come in and now his other one right next to it is coming through as well. He is actually been a great baby through it, he's just wanted his pacie more often and will suck on it for long periods of time, which is unlike him, he's not much of a pacie baby. I actually thought he would break an eye tooth first on his left side, because for a LONG time, probably about 3 months, the favors that side when he chews on his fingers, but nope it was the normal bottom front teeth. I had been noticing that he was chewing on his fingers more in the front, but the slobber production has been his normal amount (one of his nicknames is "Slobber Pot" since he slobbers and drools consistently and lots). I can't capture them in a picture yet, since they just came through and aren't all the way up, but when I can I'll post a picture of his 2 teeth! This is one thing he has up on his brother, Corin didn't start cutting teeth til 9+months.

He still refuses to roll over, but he sits up really well and will be sitting up for long stretches of time, but will still fall over occasionally.

UPDATE 11/11: To keep my blog honest and real I have to add an update regarding Declan's teething adventures. I TOTALLY and completely thought when made this post that Declan's second tooth was going to poke through that day, since his first came up so fast; one day I felt the lump under the gums and the next day it was through, so I thought the second one that I could now feel was going to do the same thing and also I was trying to keep up on my blog postings. So much for both of those. His second tooth STILL hasn't poked through and I can feel it, seems to just be staying still now. It seems SO close when I feel it, but nothing is happening and because of this Declan is having a rough time with it, I think he too wants it just to come through and stop bothering him. Sat. night he slept GREAT, but now he is whinny all night long and restless in his sleep, which keeps me awake and constantly up and going into his room to give him is pacie back and wrap him back up. He has been very attached to his pacie, clingy and just over all cranky. I bought some teethers you put in the fridge to cool and some of those mess ones that put fruit in, but he doesn't like either. He seems to not like the cold, so I gave each to him and room temp and nope, wouldn't have that either, he only wants to chew on his fingers.

Prior to Sat. also he was having some BAD bowel movements, SO much that I had to pull out the prescription Nystatin Ointment, but part of that could also be due to eating some solids and so we went on the BRAT diet, well the BA for Declan. Now, we are fine, his EXTREMELY irritated bum is cleared up and now I'm going to mix applesauce with his cereal instead of pears. Corin though had a sensitive bum as well when he was little and so it doesn't suprise me that Declan has it too. Its not just bad diaper rash, its actually a fungal infection and acid bowels, so along with ointment meds I make a special bum cream.
