Chew on this

My baby got a tooth the other day. This was a big relief because for months now we've been assigning any and all pointless fussing, drooling, etc to Teething. He's a little more than a week shy of 6 months. Is that early teething? I forget, and am too lazy to look it up. Anyway, the tooth is so cute. Sharp though!

My husband has been complaining about the messiness of the massive drooling that his big baby boy is doing, and I pointed out that he is cutting teeth, which lays open his gums to infection, and is putting all kinds of nonsense in his mouth. I'm glad his mouth is on permanent rinse mode! Otherwise he'd certainly get sick, is my guess. Neat how nature takes care of us.

I am in denial over Christmas, and am way behind on shopping/cookie baking/decorating. We're traveling to my mom's in CA (a 12+ hour flight from Dublin) and my main concern is surviving that. Thanks goodness I'm breastfeeding.
