Poor kid is teething yet again. He's woken up the past few nights screaming in tears it hurts so much. Since he's got the molars now, the only teeth left are his eye teeth. Thank goodness he'll be done once these come in. He will have such a mouth full of teeth. Normally, molars start coming in at 13 months. He had them all by then. Eye teeth aren't supposed to come in until at least 15 months I thought but here they come. At least his teething hasn't been prolonged so far. By the time we realize he's getting a new tooth, it's usually cut through within a couple days. Hopefully the same will be true with these eye teeth but I've heard they are the most painful for the little guys since they are sharper and are trying to break through at one point on the gum, versus a wider tooth coming in along the gum line. He's getting better at brushing the teeth. I usually can get him to say "Ahhh" and open up but there continue to be some mornings he won't open up at all. Last night while he was screaming in pain I decided it's probably time to get him in the habit of brushing his teeth before bedtime as well. Twice a day keeps the dentist away. His morning breath smelled good to me, but it was definitely morning breath. At 2:30 in the morning. Shawn and I are probably the only people who will ever appreciate the smell of it.
