Starting Teething

Well, Laralie is officially teething. Last night she woke up screaming and would not be reconciled for anything. I finally became wise and wondered if she was teething. I put my finger in her mouth and rubbed her gums gently. On her top gums I could feel sharp rough patch of where a tooth was just starting to jut through the gum. Oragel helped tremendously, though it was several hours before I could calm her enough to go to sleep again. Poor thing. I told her when all her teeth grow in she could eat food like mommy and daddy and even try cookies! Since she doesn't yet know what cookies are, I don't think it helped too much.
