First Tooth Peeks!

So starting in November we noticed that Connor was a little more of a drooler and chomper. We had a doctor's appointment at the beginning of December which confirmed our suspicions. Connor is in for some teeth! His bottom and top front gums were swollen. Meaning that his teeth could cut anytime. So it could be days, weeks, or months. With baby teeth you never know.
So we waited and we were patient. 
And poor little Connor, did a lot of this ...

He got drunk off of popsicles and their numbing power!

And this ...

Chewing on cloth helped, especially the
clothes we tried to put on him.

He loved the strings that dangled from Mommy's sweatshirts.

And a little of that ...

And a whole bunch of this ...

And some of that ...

And FINALLY (Drum roll Please...)
YIPPEE! His first tooth cut! It is just peeking through. His top front right that is. You can barely see where the tooth has finally gotten through the gum but you can feel it. It is a little rough hard spot poking through if you rub his top gums.
We dealt with a lot of tears in the past few days.
These were all the things we tried over the past couple weeks...
Wet Washcloths
A bottle with cold water
Refrigerated Teethers (All different kinds)
Massaging gums with Mommy/Daddy's fingers
Putting Ice Cubes and Fruit in these (as pictured) Munchkin Mesh Food Feeders (which I love by the way, but Connor is still deciding on)
Infant Tylenol
He liked chewing on Mommy's clothes, while being held or while trying to be fed
His favorite thing by far was kisses and hugs and lots of attention to keep his mind off those throbbing gums!
Everything had its moments but they all worked for only a short time. But now were over the worst ... till the next one!Connor's first tooth cut TODAY, January 9th! He is 7 months and almost one week!
