Teething lasts HOW long?

  • Heavy drooling
  • Coughing due to excess saliva
  • A drool rash on chin or face
  • Chewing on everything and anything
  • Sensitive, possibly swollen gums
  • Flushed cheeks
  • Nasal discharge
  • Interrupted sleep
  • Refusal to eat
  • Cheek rubbing
  • Irritability; crying more than usual
  • Ummm…yes. These are some signs of teething from an article I read today. Our baby definitely fits in the “all of the above” category. It’s now 6:45 pm and we just put lil’ Lex to bed. Earlier than his usual bedtime, but we all needed a break. He didn’t sleep this afternoon, despite my best efforts. I feel as though I have done nothing today but try to get my son to nap. Attempting this “sleep training” during the same week as our house going on the market and the start of Lex’s hardcore teething may not have been the smartest idea we’ve ever had. I’ve never been a fan of the “cry it out” method (and am still not), but I am starting to see how parents can get to that point!

    Anyways, here’s some cute pictures taken yesterday after a walk (that’s why Lex is still wearing his stocking cap).
