Fun with First Molars!

I took Ethan to the doctor this afternoon to get his ears and gums checked out. He has been much more irritable than usual for about 5 days now and has been acting similarly to when he had ear infections earlier in the Fall. I thought that we should get him looked over to see if his ears were fine and also to determine if he were teething. The pediatrician said that both of his ears looked great (thankfully!), and she found that at least one of his first molars is coming in. It also appears as though at least 2 other teeth are coming in at the same time. Poor little guy-I'd be super irritable too! We've been giving him some Tylenol off and on, and that seems to be helping for now. Soon he'll have a mouth full of teeth!

Allison is getting her second 2nd molar and it has been hard on her too. Must really hurt getting those big things through the teet. Takes so long to come through sometimes. 2 more and she'll be full and I'll be glad!!!
