New developments in the Wright household:
Sleeping through the night - not anymore
Happy Baby - she tries but shes just not herself lately
Crying - Cries for no reason
Refusing to eat - both the bottle and solids
Chewing on everything in sight (mostly her hands, or trying to get mine) - CHECK
Just all around fussy and not quite the happy baby she was...
All above point to - TEETH!
I'm VERY excited about this milestone and I love that we are stepping into the next phase BUT...
I haven't gotten a solid night sleep in a week and that's abnormal for
my baby who has been sleeping through the night since week 8 (I know, I
know, I got lucky)!
No one lets you know that sure the first few months you struggle to get a
good handle on your new schedule and just when you think that you got
it down... You can just throw it out the window! Because those Darn Teeth are gonna screw everything up!
This Momma is down for suggestions.. Found a good blog with 57 different strategies for teething:

I will report back which seemed to work but bottom line is every baby is
different and what works for my little one might not for others! And
they say this could be from 1 week to 4 weeks :( Poor thing!
Going to get one of these guys tonight (heard they are the best)
I think the best thing I read was that as a Mom I should put myself in her shoes - the poor baby is experiencing pain and some babies handle it well and others are a little more sensitive.
She is an amazing trooper because even through the tears you can get a smile out of her!
Oh and ALL THE DROOL!! haha you gotta love it!
Signing off,
Ready for the first tooth to come already!
