And, we're off!

I knew something was up yesterday, but I attributed it to his poor napping. He slept on the way home, which was nice. But when we got there, he was inconsolable. He would crawl a foot or two and then fall face down on the floor and just cry pitifully. I was trying to get something for him to eat, but he wouldn't let me stop holding him, which is very unusual. Then, I sat down and gave him some food, and he LITERALLY started shovelling it into his mouth with both hands. I'm usually lucky to get 5 or 10 bites in him at dinnertime, and even less than that on a bad napping day. But he was going to town! Peas were flying in every direction. He even let me give him bites of food off a spoon in between his devouring.

So, he was a little happier after his belly was full. So I sat down on the floor with one of his "O Baby" yogurts (which are quite good), and he helped me eat half of that also. After that he took his last bottle and I went to change him. So the yelling resumed, as it does for the last diaper/clothes change of the day. And what do I see gleaming in the depths of his tiny screaming mouth, but a shiny protrusion on his bottom gums. Ah ha! A reason for the insanity of late, I felt so much better! Especially since he had gotten up FOUR TIMES the night before. I was tempted to start Ferberizing him (aka the "cry it out no matter what" method). But now at least I know what is going on.

Actually, he did better last night, and this morning we were back to the normal sweet boy I missed so much.

Now, didn't I make that sound exciting?! All for a little tooth :)
