Teething!!!

Oh boy, we are in the midst of some serious teething. Bad time for grandparents to be visiting because no one has gotten much sleep in this house the last 2 nights. She wakes up at all hours and is totally inconsolable. We've tried tylenol and teething rings but neither seem to do much for her.

Poor little Cleo is bumming out. She is clearly in a lot of pain. I still can't really see any teeth, but boy can I feel them and they are SHARP. Good thing we're done breastfeeding.

I bought some baby Oragel this morning but I'll be damned if I know how to actually get it into her mouth. She is very determined to not let me stick this stuff onto her gums...but I'm sure her bottom lip and chin were quite numb when I tried to apply it earlier. I also bought some kind of herbal teething remedy that we may try to give her tonight (although I'm pretty sure it just knocks her out so I'll have to do some internet research first).

We've been trying to keep her spirits up though and here she was earlier today in her bouncy chair...









And the cutest nap ever is happening as we speak...
