ouch--upper molars coming in

Scott has been out of sorts all weekend--I wasn't sure if he was sick or not.  He has a runny nose but no other symptoms.  He's been clingy and fussy, but again, thought he might have a mild cold or something.  His sleep was restless last night.

Well, today I was letting him "fall" backward in a game we play and noticed what I thought was something blue in his mouth.  Well, I got a good look at his black/blue gums that are SO swollen--upper molars coming in. OUCH--it looks incredibly painful!!! Needless to say, tonight was a motrin night.

So what teeth are next--canines and then 2 year molars?  When will he get a break (and us too) from all these teeth busting through.  Poor guy!

    Poor guy!  Natalie's second upper molar just came in this week.  She's also been super fussy and clingy since her molars have started coming in.  She still has the bottom two molars and then the canines to get.  After that I think it's just the 2 year molars.  it feels like these molars are taking forever though -- a month between her first one and her second!  I hope Scott gets through it quickly!

    I feel your pain - Liam is going through the same thing right now!  He's got all 4 coming in, though I can tell the top ones are closer.  He's the same as Scott - fussy, clingy, snotty nose, and up screaming at night if we don't give him ibuprofin before bed.  Hope everyone's molars come in soon! :(

    Scott's lower molars came in first (both at the same time) and I will say he is handling the upper two coming in better (so far!) than the bottom ones. It was VERY clear when the first ones came in that he was a teething mess. So hopefully Natalie's lower ones won't be as bad since she will have already experienced the uppers.  Teething sucks!

    I hear canines are terrible so I'm not looking forward to that.  Boo!  Our LOs need a break for a little bit! :)

    Nate's molars came in pretty quickly, it seems.  It was around a month for all 4 of them.  He's had 1 canine for awhile and he's been working on the other 3 for a couple of weeks now.  The 2nd bottom canine has broken through and his top 2 are close.  The gums are SO swollen, so it can't be too much longer.

    I got my mesh feeder out the other day and put some frozen smoothie fruit in it for Nate & he really enjoyed it.  I might have to make that a nightly routine until these last 2 canines are in.  I am really looking forward to a break from teething for awhile!
