Once Bitten

Zeke now has all four of his front teeth and they are doozies. Look at how big they are! The good news is that his sleeping really has gotten so much better now that he isn't teething -- I don't even think I properly understood how much teething was bothering him. He has completely stopped pulling on his ears, something he has been doing for months. He now enjoys crunching all sorts of new finger foods, though Cheerios remain by far the favorite. The downside to these teeth is that they are new and he has to try them out on everything. So, this week, the following things ended up getting bitten: his crib and all other nursery furniture, the bathtub (terrible sound), the Ikea receipt I needed for a return, cups, my chin and my arm. He also grinds those teeth together. Finally, he has bitten me while nursing. It wasn't terrible and wasn't malicious, however. He was getting sleepy and I think he forgot what he was doing. I know plenty of people that have stopped nursing once their babes got teeth, but I think we will continue on for awhile.The gums on the bottom look really bumpy, but I hope maybe we will get to have a little vacation from teething.
