I think he's teething already!

He discovered his hands in the past few days, and he's constantly putting them in his mouth. I know that's normal.

But, he's been making chewing motions for over a week. His hands are always in his mouth now, and he's not sucking on them, he's chewing. If he's crying and I give him a teething ring or toy (he can't reach and grab them yet, but if I put them in his hands he will hold on to them), they go straight into his mouth and he starts chewing... and the crying stops. He's also been drooling like crazy for the past week.

I rubbed my hands along his gums and think I feel a tooth below the upper middle gum. Joy!
