Soothing the Teething Pain


On May 2nd, Canaan sprouted his first tooth! We were visiting his MeMaw and Grandpa in California when she discovered a sharp protrusion coming through his bottom gums. Canaan had been a little grumpy for the ten days prior, but we thought it had to do with traveling and other changes. Then we found out it was all because of teething! About 10 days later, on May 12th, we felt his second tooth coming in right next to the first one. Canaan doesn't like his mouth being touched right now, but both teeth seem to be coming in wonderfully. I guess I never realized that the teeth took so long to fully come through the gums, but they are still taking their time cutting all the way through. One thing we learned really quickly is that they are very sharp, so we try to keep our fingers away from his mouth now!
