It's hard work getting TEETH!

At 4 1/2 months (20 weeks, 1 day), the day after Thanksgiving, Cannon cut his first bottom tooth. There was suddenly an explanation for the past two days of waking up at 4 am. That day would start a week and a half of fussiness cured only by cuddles, snuggles and lots of distractions.  

In one moment of sheer desperation, after Tylenol failed and a call to the nurse resulted in her only suggesting a cool wash cloth, I remembered we had these handy-dandy mesh feeders.

I crushed ice and suddenly, Cannon was appeased.  He sucked and gnawed on that ice until his lips and fingers froze and his onesie was drenched. But it was a blissful 10 minutes.
