Teething x 4

Yep....that's right...not one, not two, not even three, but four teeth are coming in right now. Let's just say Braden's upper gum looks like a war zone and he's not too happy about it. He's been a little clingy lately (by clingy I mean uninterested in his toys, clawing at me, crawling all over me and fussing if I sit more than 2 feet away from him) but I just assumed it was because we had been visiting the grandparents and he got a little spoiled being held. We headed to our Wednesday play date this morning and when we got there the crying began. Now Brady is a little wary of new faces (we're trying to work on that), but he seemed particularly timid and clingy. It doesn't help that he bonked his head like 4 times over the course of the day, but he clawed and clawed and clawed at me the whole time we were there . The only thing that would satisfy him was if I let him take my hands and walk. So off we went...we walked the whole house about 5 times over and then the screaming began and nothing would satisfy him. After screaming the whole way home I finally took another peak in his mouth and whoa momma...those gums are so swollen and you can actually see four of his teeth trying to come through. And I feel HORRIBLE for being so darn frustrated with the little guy. I guess for now we will work on breaking the clingy-ness (I don't think that's even a word, but I'm coining it) another day and for now I'll do whatever I can to help my Braden w/ these darn toothers.
