Teething...


Well, let's just say that the past few days have been nothing but easy. Caden is teething and he is impossible. Friday night he went to bed at 8:00 and we thought all was well, but at 10:00 he woke up screaming and he would have nothing to do with Daddy. He wanted his Mom, and he would not sleep until 3 am!!! We were giving him some baby Advil and Tylenol but it didn't seem to help at all. Then on Saturday afternoon (after a morning of misery since he woke up at 6:30 regardless of his short sleep during th night) his first tooth finally poked through his gums just a tiny bit and he became less irritable. He didn't eat much at all on Saturday but yesterday he was almost back to his normal self. However, he still wants Mommy all the time with Grammie Jones as a close second. But that's it... And still no tooth- it is just peeking through under his gums. And still no great sleeping- Sunday night he cried from 10:00-11:30 and slept until 5:30 and last night he cried from 9:30-10:00 or so and slept unril 6:30... He was sleeping from 8:30-7:00 so I hope that returns soon!

So I am going to take Caden to his play group today and we'll see how he does. Jeff and I are pretty tired but I know Caden will be back to his old self once he gets his teeth- maybe in a year! Just kidding! :) We were lucky yesterday because Tarena knows someone who has twin boys and she was getting rid of their clothes. They are so cute! We were able to get them and Caden should be set until next winter hopefully. So we are happy about that.

What else is new? On Friday we are going to Saskatchewan to stay with some of Jeff's family. His Aunt hasn't seen Caden yet. Hopefully he won't be grumpy. I guess we'll wait and see. And hopefully he'll do OK in the car. We'll have to stop every few hours for our sanity and his! :) I'll keep you posted...
