Ethan is officially in Round 2 of teething. He got his first tooth back in the end of October of last year. After that, he was getting 1-2 new teeth a month for the next several months. By his 1st birthday in April he had 8 of his front baby teeth - 4 on top and 4 on bottom. He hasn't cut a new tooth since and is now paying the price. Poor little guy is getting at least 3, maybe 4 new teeth in right now. He's a pretty good 'teether' - not too cranky and no orajel. He's doing ok during the day, but the past 4-5 nights he has woken up SCREAMING anywhere from 2-4 in the morning. Saturday night it was so bad that he had to come into bed with us for a while - it was a looong night.
And, as a sidenote. Is there anyone in the Eugene/Springfield area that is interested in some soy formula? We got a whole can of it when Ethan was really sick and just on fluids. They wanted him to use the soy formula because it's supposed to be easier on his system - he'd have nothing to do with it. Formula is so expensive, I hate to just throw it away if someone can use it. Let me know...
9/16/08: Teething Update
I discovered this morning that Ethan is also cutting 2-3 teeth on bottom as well as the 3-4 teeth on top. So he's got about 6 new teeth coming in! On the bright side, there was no late night/early morning screaming today - yay!!

Oh the joys of teething. I always feel so sad for the poor little kids. And the poor moms too.
Teething is the worst! Just about when i start to think Jack has turned into a horrible cranky kid for good, I will see some new teeth in his mouth and then he is totally happy again. Can't wait to be all done with that! Hope Ethan feels better and starts sleeping better for all of your sakes!
Hey, are you guys still thinking of coming up and going to the temple Sept. 20? If so, we could totally take turns watching kids or something.
