Yes, it is true...my almost-eight-month-old daughter is teething for the first time. I was told that the first teeth to come in are usually the front ones. First the bottom then the top...after that the sides then the molars in the back...Well no one in my family ever seems to opt for the easy way out and, sadly to say, the same seems to hold true for my dear Belen, poor thing. She is getting her eye teeth in first...from what I hear they are the toughest first teeth to come in. She's had some redness and swelling in that area for months but she seemed fine so I never thought much of it...the last two weeks, however have been quite challenging for her...she seems to have ALL the classic teething symptoms including refusing her baby food...she will eat some finger foods and she will nurse but we've had to supplement with formula to make sure she's getting the calories and nutrients she needs. I keep offering her baby food and cereal with not much luck. She does now have two little white bumps that just appeared today, one on each side. My baby girl is growing into a big girl!
She will eat teething biscuits! What a mess!It hasn't all been tough, though. Mom wasn't feeling well this past weekend and my little sweetheart crawled over and layed down next to me, she knew just what I'd needed! She also loves to give big slobbery kisses! Here are some other happy-baby pictures I simply HAVE to share!
We recently bought Belen her very own piano! She absolutleyLOVES it! She's so cute with it and will just pound away on it before she flips it upside down.
