We’ve been pulling the teething card on Avery’s crankiness for several months now, starting when she was four months. Now, just days away from 8 months, we can actually confirm teeth are pushing their way through her gums.
I’m sure you experienced parents know the feeling, excitement and fear combined, and we’re definitely going through this now. On one hand, it’s exciting to watch our baby grow and hit another milestone, but at the same time….TEETHING!! AHHHH.
Okay, I’m calm again…for now.
Since our little girl will soon have boob-threatening teeth, I wanted to create a post with a picture compilation of Avery chewing on different things. Completely random, I know, but this is what my blog is all about; sharing our journey.
So, what do you think makes the best teether?
Actual teethers, bear heads, pink balls, green balls, wooden spoon, yellow balls, recorders, carrots, plastic rings, inflatable balls, cucumber, Daddy’s finger, or bear paws?
Right now, I’d say it’s a draw between pink balls and the wooden spoon.
The finger was a bold move, LOL
Ha ha, very true! Luckily, it’s not something she wants a lot of; that might hurt once her teeth come in!!
I’m familiar with a few of these, especially the baby putting someone else’s finger in their mouth and biting it!
Yeah, that one’s sure to leaving a memorable experience! And the more teeth, the more that someone else will really remember! 🙂
It’s a strange thing how when new teeth grow our children seem intent on finding things to chew that might end up breaking them….yikes!
Your 3rd picture (with the bottle)…that’s not a cigarette is it?!!
Haha, no, it’s a cucumber. I should’ve captioned it because if does look like a cigarette! Never will we have that crap in our house…..hopefully!
Ah a cucumber – that’s a good idea! Naturally cool, and beats putting those teething ring things in the fridge. Neither of my girls liked those rings, and I was always worried they were going to be bitten through and burst!
That’s a valid concern about the rings bursting….no good! Plus, edible teethers like cool cucumbers are a win-win; soothing and nourishing!
