Roddie Report: Teeth

It's been a rough week, sleep wise.  I'd have to say it's pretty comparable to the first few months, when the kids were up feeding all the time.  While Norah's been having some nightmares again and the fluctuating temperatures are wreaking havoc, the real reason is Roddie and his teeth. 

He doesn't cut just one or two teeth, oh no, this little man cuts 3 or 4 or more at once!  He got all his front teeth at one time and now he seemed to be getting all his molars at once also.  At least 4 teeth have made their way through in the past week or so, and I'm not convinced that's it.  A quick Internet search reveals that the "one year molars" are often painful - think about it, those big back teeth pushing their way through!  It's tough on us all, since if he's up, we're all up, and of course it's heartbreaking to have your child be so upset and in pain and not be able to do anything for him.  (Ibuprofen, unfortunately, takes a few minutes to kick in!) 

Anyway, last night was a bit better, and after a week, we may be on the back side of this thing!  (I hope so, as Matt will be flying solo with the kids next week).  In other teeth related news, Rod has really embraced brushing his teeth!  He went from fighting us to get his teeth brush to opening wide and now he wants to do it himself!  I'm not sure what, if anything, this could have to do with the teething situation, but it sure made for some cute pictures!

Look at me, I can brush all by myself!

... And I love to pose for the camera!
