Teething puts a damper on things...

I take it she's teething. If she's not randomly crying, throwing her arms up in the air to be picked up, or screaming as she's being put in her highchair, then she's chomping down on my knees and calves. Her sleeping is also suffering and she's waking up every night. Last night she wouldn't stop squirming and eventually started screaming. I had to give her Tylenol and finally feed her to calm her down. Again, I take it she's teething?

Can't see which teeth are descending/ascending but the usual ones to come down now would be the middle top, or I1 as we would call them in Osteology. The only thing that looks different in her mouth is that the bottom of her mouth looks a bit lumpy. I wonder if top and bottom teeth will just start popping out all over the place.

Yep., she's teething. You can't always see them comin in. One time with Mike he woke up with one and I didn't even know he was teething. She has all the classic signs!!! I once had a dentist tell me that teething is very uncomforatble and can be painful. Don't hesitate to give her tylenol before bed. Instead of waiting until shes worked herself (and you) up. Have you tried Orajell?? altho it kind of numbs everything it touches up...it might help her sleep. poor little cinnamon bun!!!
