Duuuuuude

B and I were taking Bubbie out for a walk this morning trying to get him worn out for a nap. Bubbie was not too keen on the idea and really didn't want to go. Well, during a minor tantrum, he fell on the sidewalk. Not too big of a deal, until we picked him up and he had split his lip and was bleeding everywhere. Good times. He looked like he'd been in boxing ring. When blood mixes with saliva, it never looks good.

I luckily had some Kleenex with me, got him cleaned up, and went home. All was fine and good. We had snack time with some apple and watched a little Nick Jr. to calm down. Then I noticed it. Bubbie chipped his tooth. Not a big Dumb and Dumber chip, but just a little one in the middle of his front tooth. Just enough for me to see it. Son of a .... I'm not too happy. He doesn't seem to be in any pain so I don't think he injured the root, luckily. But, I feel like I should take him to the dentist just to make sure there aren't any cracks. Yay.

Teeth?? Maybe??

So Bubbie still has 2 teeth. He's almost 11 months old and has just these 2 little chompers. It would be no big deal except for the fact that the little guy seems like he's in so much pain with the next ones coming in. We're not really sure where they're coming in, but I'm hoping they're coming. Tonight while I was getting him dressed after his bath, he had both hands shoved in his mouth to put pressure on his gums. :(

We've tried baby Motrin, but it seems to be so much worse when it wears off in the middle of the night. He wakes up screaming and we can't get him to calm down for easily an hour. Poor little guy.

On a lighter note, Bubbie is turning into such a little boy - chasing cats, playing peek-a-boo behind the couch, and just generally being fun! I can't believe he's going to be 1 soon. It makes me a little sad, but I know that we're going to have so much fun together as he gets older.

At least 4 teeth in there

I checked and we actually have progress with Bubbie's teeth!! I can see 3 tooth buds and being that most of the time teeth come in pairs, I'm assuming there are at least 4 teeth coming in. Holy cow!! I didn't get any teeth until I was 8 months old and I got 4 at once. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there are more coming in on the top. Crazy!

He's messing with me

Bubbie is still teething. He has 0 teeth and has been having the classic teething signs for going on 3 months here. Good times. That being said, I have high hopes that he'll actually have some teeth by the end of the month. I didn't have any teeth until I was 8 months (which is today!) and I ended up getting 4 at once. As for him messing with me....over the past few days, he's been either super happy baby or hysterical crying baby.

Monday - sobbing crying after taking a whopping 45 minute nap; will not eat his bottle or chew on a wet washcloth which is usually the best thing since sliced bread for him; resorted to Baby Motrin to help with the pain; sleeps for 30 minutes and wakes up again still in a foul mood.
**Side note: why is Baby Motrin berry flavored? I mean, he doesn't eat anything remotely close to its flavor. It smells like cotton candy and he HATES it.

Tuesday - wakes up at 5:30am, good times; grumpy; sort of eating bottles; very clingy; takes two 45 minute naps

Wednesday - wakes up at 5 freaking 30 again! but in a good mood; sleeps for almost 2 hours for his first nap and 2 for his second; fabulous mood all day

WTF Bubbie?? Tuesday threw a wrench in our whole day with the lack of quality naps. I had planned on cleaning during his naps. So, Wednesday I was all set for him to take crappy naps. I put him down thinking that he'll be up any minute. So what do I do? Throw a load of diapers in the wash and fool around on the computer. I kept thinking, "Anytime now he'll wake up." I didn't want to start anything that I couldn't finish during his nap like washing the floors, which badly need it. Instead, I did nothing. He's messing with my head. I know it.
