Holy Toothy Tootherson

Sophia is usually a good kid. She generally goes to bed easily and even if she doesn’t fall asleep right away she’ll talk to herself or rub her pajama bottom feet on the walls until she does. She usually doesn’t cry or otherwise become obnoxious unless she needs something like food. Sure, she has her clingy times, but we’ve come to the understanding that if I ignore her she’ll quickly give up and go play with something she’s not supposed to, like the power supply to my laptop. She is a crafty little tyke.

So when she has her *ahem* moments of the inconsolable grumpies, Kurt invariably asks, “Do you think she’s teething?” We considered that after a horrible trip to Alaska in early December but more than a month later, no teeth showed. She’s had a few other episodes here and there. Then, after sleeping through the night for three days in a row there were two nights in a row in which she woke up screaming her head off for two hours. This happened to coincide with staying up late waiting for my friend to deliver her baby on January 31st and Super bowl Sunday. And now I see SIX teeth coming in at once. She has four molars, two on top and two on bottom, and the two bottom teeth that flank the very front two already there.

Do you think I should cut her hair? :P

  1. No, she shouldn’t get a hair cut. At least not yet, I like it when Chloe looks like Sophia sometimes and me calling her “you look so much like mom’s journal.”

  2. No hair cut!

    And wow…six at once is ROUGH. The molars were really awful with Alex…and the canines were even worse.

    I’m just glad that teething is over with until he is six! Yay for a break (of some sorts)!
