As we round the corner to the 8 month mark, my sweet baby boy is taking steps (assisted of course) and has sprouted not one, but 2 bottom teeth.....at the same time!
But I couldn't be more blessed. I know that may sound strange to some, especially those mommies that have children who seemed to learn a different high pitched scream with each tooth that began to present itself. But my little guy seems the least bit fussy to me. He seems content to just chew on a variety of objects and drool to his heart's content.
I haven't been able to get him to cooperate long enough to snap any memorable photographs of the two teeth invading my son's mouth, but trust me, as soon as I am able, that is definitely a picture I will be posting.
I am willing to accept any words of wisdom, though, in regards to various methods to soothe the aches and pains associated with teething for my precious angel. I have tried applesauce on a washcloth and freezing it, however, my son did not seem to take a liking to this method.
On yet another note, my son continues to grow at the speed of light....already in 12 month clothing! I just can't seem to keep up with him these days.

We need to see him again soon! He sounds like a very pleasant little fellow. As far as teething remedies, Target sells these homeopathic dissolvable tablets that seems to help. The brand is Hylands and probably can found in other stores as well. They make a teething gel also and there is always Orajel which you rub on their gums. Hope you find something that works! Bless you both.
I would love to see you again too and visit with your newest addition. I haven't made it in to the store yet to try out those remedies, although, he seems to be doing much better these past few days....so maybe I will hold off. I do have the Orajel here if worse comes to worse, though. Thank you for your words of wisdom. I always appreciate the second opinion from someone as experienced as you are.
"as experienced as me"... You're too funny! I'm right in the same boat as you, believe me.
Well you do have more than one and your oldest is out of the baby stage, so I tend to believe that you know more than I do.
