Teething Madness

Paige was pretty much awake all night last night...she only slept for 15 minute increments. Plus, she has a slight temperature over 101, so we took her to the doctor today.

Dr. Herrbold said that she was teething (her bottom first molars-which is what I suspected), but that she also had a double ear infection. Gosh, when it rains it pours! Dr. Herrbold said that the teething probably caused the ear infection from the extra fluid that teething brings with all the swelling. (That was news to me.)

So, anyway Paige is on some antibiotic now and Motrin every six hours for pain. Hopefully she'll be on the mend soon...and we can both get some more sleep!

Another Tooth

Paige got another tooth today. It is the bottom right lateral incisor. She has seven teeth now. There are four on top and three on bottom.

Phone and Teeth

Paige loves the phone. She can't get enough of it! Every time someone calls, she wants to talk. Inevitably, she always pushes the end button and accidentally hangs up on them. Like in this picture, her fingers are in the exact spot as the end button.

"Hello, Grandma, are you there?" (Nope, you just hung up on her!)Can you see my five teeth...the top one on my left is barely there!

Fifth Tooth

Paige got another tooth yesterday. (One day after her birthday...how cool!) It is the one to the left of her front teeth on top! Yay!

The Right Tooth is Here!!

Paige's right tooth (top front) cut through last night...just a little. I will have to get a picture of her with her four teeth to post soon...get excited!!

Finally....Another Tooth

Paige's front tooth (top left) cut through last night. We are so excited for her, but man did she have some growing pains with this one. She has been working on both of her top teeth for about a month now, with a few sleepless nights every once in a while. Last night, all three of us were awake from 12:30-3:30ish. Needless to say, we are glad to have that one in...now for the second one! It is almost through too, but hopefully her mouth will take the night off so we can all get some sleep. LOL!

Second Tooth

Paige has another tooth. The one on the bottom right has cut through...this one did not come as quietly as the first. Paige has been more fussy and woke up during the night crying. I had to get her out of her bed and hold her. It took her 45 minutes to go back to sleep. Poor baby...I feel so bad for her!

First Tooth

Paige's first tooth cut through today. It is the bottom left front tooth. I didn't even know she was teething...so you could imagine my surprise when I felt it already through her gums. She hasn't even complained about being in discomfort. I hope all the rest of her teeth come through with the same amount of fuss...I know that is wishful thinking...but you never know!
