Tooth Fairy please help us!

There are certain things in life that are very bothersome in the world of babies. I am just guessing that between diaper rash and teething things can get pretty scary. For the past couple of weeks Chloe has really been drooling and chewing on her little hands and fingers. I did some research and found that babies generally around her age 3 months begin to produce more saliva and that can be contributed to the drool and also that they may and I say "may" start teething. I just put that out of my mind and figured she must just be drooling because her salivary glands are producing more and she is chewing on her fingers because she has realized how much "fun" it is to do.

Well I think I am wrong. For the past week she has really been chewing on things...and I mean like a dog with a bone. She will chew on my shirt, her blanket, any toy she can get and if she could get her toes in her mouth those too! She also has been really fussy at times and will just cry but when I rub her gums with her paci she stops fussing or crying. Today I got a good look in her mouth and saw a little white spot. I wont say a tooth but the gum isn't really pink like her top or side of her gums just a light white. I am assuming a tooth is coming in. Once again according to my readings it can take weeks or months for a baby to cut a tooth...GREAT. I don't think I can handle months of this fussiness.

Anyways to help make things better for her I bought at Babies R Us a teether called the "raspberry" it is like a paci but much larger and has nubs all over it and groves. I am assuming this feels good on her little gums because today when I gave it to her she went to town chewing on it. I also need to mention that I am really impressed with her fine motor skills of putting this object into her mouth.




check out the video and photos for a good laugh!

OH yeah you can really tell in these photos that her hair is coming in a shade of really light blond...fyi it was a weird brownish red and then all fell out at 3 months and has rapidly grown back. This is a lot for her! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
