dear baby finn,
the past week or so you have been a bit of a grump. it seems like ever since you got those darn shots (which really we are so grateful for because they keep you healthy :)) you haven't been the same happy baby. :( sometimes you will wake up from a nap or in the middle of the night screaming. not crying, screaming. and when dad or i go in your room to get you, all you need is your binki and you go right back to sleep. you have only done this a handful of times, but it is very puzzling to me. the first thing i thought when you did this the first time was that you must have had a bad dream. now i wonder if you might be waking up in pain because of your teeth which are making their way down to your gums. they aren't cutting through quite yet, but i can tell they are on their way down...you are slobber city and have your hands in your mouth (or anything for that matter) for a good portion of the day. i bought you some teething rings and orajel, and they both seem to help a little. a lot of people have told me to buy 'hylands teething tablets.' they were hard to find, but finally i found them at walgreens. we have only used them once or twice and you did calm down, so hopefully they will continue to work. i just feel so bad for you, because i can tell your teeth are causing you some discomfort and pain. :(
all things considered, you are still an amazing baby. you sleep 10 hours a night, eat great and usually take a few good naps a day. that's all a mom can ask for. i love you so much and know we'll make it through this whole teething process in no time!
love ya man!
love,
mom
