Coming Soon

Poor little Kai has been exhibiting all the classic signs of teething for the last several weeks. In fact, the drooling, loose bowels, upset tummy, and constant chewing seem even worse than when he broke his first two teeth. And looking in his mouth I can see several teeth hanging out in the gums. Over the last two weeks especially his gums have appeared to get more swollen and he has been biting everything--my nose, my shoulder, my finger, any toy, etc. But it wasn't until last night that I truly understood how much pain he was in. While we were playing I saw some funny coloring in his mouth and upon closer inspection I saw a tooth-sized bruise on his upper gums. This bruise pretty much covers his whole gum (top to bottom) and is in the shape of one of the teeth that has been resting there in his gums. Of course, I gave him some Tylenol before bed last night because I have a feeling that a third tooth is coming soon.
