Teething!!!

I gave Michael the nickname Mikey Mouse because he squeaks while he sleeps. While he was teething last month, Joey gave him the well deserved name Psycho Mike. Michael squealed for three weeks straight while teething. We could see Michael's top front teeth poking the gums but while we waited for those to cut, his top side teeth cut. When he smiled big he looked like a vampire baby. But teething wasn't over. We soothed him the best we could while anxiously waiting for those front teeth. Then, another bottom tooth showed up, unexpectedly. Finally, after three long weeks of teething, his front two emerged. The squealing ended and Michael returned to his happy self. The poor baby got 5 teeth in 3 weeks!! Now he has a mouth full of teeth, a total of 7 at 8 months old.

                                    I tried to capture the vampire teeth in the top picture.

              Here's Michael now with his 7 teeth. Hopefully, he gets a teething break for awhile.
