This is a picture of my poor little pumpkin at 4 months old! You see all of that wetness around her neck? DROOL!!!! BUT, even worse, can you see the discoloration around her mouth? Her poor mouth looked like that for MONTHS. I felt like the worlds worst mom - but the pediatrician kept assuring us it was normal for her to lose pigmentation with how bad she was teething. She got her first tooth shortly after this picture was taken and they didn't stop coming in until her first birthday! By the time she was one, she had EVERY.SINGLE.TOOTH minus her 2 year molars!!!!
Tonight, she was down right cranky!!! She just wasn't herself, and her little cheeks looked rosey to me. I took her temp and it was completely normal! But, for the past few days she was playing with her ears. She always plays with them when she is sleepy, but it's been pretty bad yesterday and today. Something told me to stick my finger in her mouth, and low and behold....her bottom left 2 year molar was poking through - barely - but it's there! No wonder why the poor kiddo has been walking herself into her bed the past couple of nights, WANTING to go to sleep!
I just had to snap this one tonight. I know she may not feel well, but she was throwing the biggest temper tantrum because I told her we could color Nana a picture AFTER she took a bath and she wanted to do it N.O.W! This included some feet stomping and chucking her cup across the room. Well, she wasn't very happy when she had to sit in time out:
Sorry baby girl, I know your poor teeth hurt, but it's not okay to throw stuff - especially because you can hurt your little baby friends at "school" if you were to throw a tantrum there and throw a toy!! xoxo
I went through the same exact thing with the skin discoloration with Kayla when she was teething! I had one rude blogger tell me it was was a fungus I needed to take care of. Her daughter contracted it from the country she adopted her from. I was like HELLO...Kayla was born in FL. Your an idoit, thanks for the input. lol. Anyhow..teething is the pits. I hope it doesnt last too long. All babies are different and I hope Noey is like Caden. I swear I never even knew he was teething most times. Kayla's teeth were terrible. So long slow and drawn out. YUCK. And the temper tantrums with throwing stuff....totally 100% Caden. Kayla never once. So different!
ReplyDeleteLOL omgosh people are soooo ignorant!!!
ReplyDeleteTypically she is like Caden and isn't REALLY bothered by her teeth. She tends to just CHEW on everything around her! Lastnight she had her big toe in her mouth hahahhaa!!!
And as far as tantrums....yikes she is the queen of them - sounds like her and Caden have a very similar temperament!
temper tantrums...my little princess???? lol
