All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth!

Noa is singing this tune today. Apparently it isn't enough to have his two bottom teeth - he's going for a full set by Christmas. He's teething again and pretty miserable. It just dawned on me today what is going on, but the last couple of nights he has been waking and refusing the bottle. At first I thought he was just excited about eating solid foods (which he is) but he had a low fever today and was cranky and arching the back and then it clicked. He isn't refusing the bottle because he wants solids, he refusing because it hurts and sure enough when I tried rubbing his top gum to investigate, he got real pissed and I thought I could feel a ridge there. Forgive me if the teething thing is taking me a bit by surprise but even the doc was a little startled to see them at the last visit.
