Teething...

The day that Jason deployed, Benjamin woke up from his nap super cranky. After a week of being super clingy and fussy (I really thought his personality was changing...and wondered if he was morphing from a laid-back baby into a high-maintenance toddler!) I finally took him to see the pediatrician to rule out an ear infection, etc. Nothing was wrong.

After a second week of alternating between fussiness and sweetness, I finally felt one tooth poking through. In the three weeks since then, Benjamin has popped a total of FIVE teeth. No wonder the poor munchkin was out of sorts! But I'm kind of glad he's getting so many teeth all at once and we won't have to go through this much longer :)
