First Toofie!

Today as I was feeding Brendan his lunch, I noticed he kept sticking his finger in his mouth and was really irritable- moreso than most days. He's usually pretty fun to get along with. I knew he was hungry, and usually , once you pop something- ANYTHING in his mouth, he shuts up ! This time - uh uh. so I check out his mouth , and lo and behold I see a little bit of white sticking out ! My little peanut is got a little toofer comin in! It seems just about right, because according to my baby book, Thomas was just about the same age- almost EXACT when he got HIS first tooth- 7 months- give or take a week. Brendan will be 7 months in 3 days. He was real up set - thank goodness I have some baby Orajel around - I picked it up last month because he was drooling like a son of a ... I knew it wouldn't be long so figured I better pick some up just in case- Good thing I did ! Today he just seemed unbearable. Like the Orajel wasnt working- I have a teether too, but he wanted no part of it, I tried a banana in one of those mesh feeding bags- that seemed to help some- it was food and soft - easy on his gums- I tried Ice in the mesh food bag, uh uh - didnt like that at all, so we went back to the banana. Then later we went to religion class. I volunteered some and explained I might have to leave due to a teething baby, but B was pretty good- he held out for 45 minutes, then got hungry and tired and noisy, so we left- only had half an hour to go. Not bad. My lil Bombino Brendini's Finally gettin Toofies! So the journey begins! Again.
