In other news, I think little man is teething. This means poor baby and poor mama. We went to Wal-Mart to try to pick up some teething tablets and they have all been pulled from the shelves. Just my luck! And to make matters even worse, they don't know when they will be back on the market. Do you ladies know of anything else that helps ease the pain. We got baby Orajel and a teething ring but that is all they seemed to have. Every mom I know swears by the teething tablets. So let me know if you have any other good remedies. I am kind of surprised he is starting so young. I thought we had another month or so. But he cries, sticks his little hand in his mouth or grabs my hand and bites on my knuckles. So it looks like he has started.
The big daycare debate has come to a close. As of right now I don't think I can send him to daycare. I had a huge scare yesterday and it really shook me up. I researched every daycare in the area and I went to visit a few. I had my top two. One in particular seemed very safe because they had surveillance and allowed the parents to watch their kids online. It was gorgeous facility and I was pretty impressed. Last night I was watching the news and a woman was arrested Wednesday with four counts of lewd act on a minor. She was a worker at the very daycare facility that I liked. Talk about SCARY!! It made me sick to my stomach to think about. So back to the drawing board. I just can't stand the thought of putting little man at risk. I am sure this is rare but the fact that it was at one of the nicest, most expensive, and what I thought to be "safest" facilities really upset me.
I thought I would share a few of my favorite Christmas card photos with you all. Miss Lauren Gossett took these for us and I thought they came out fantastic.
Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteAbout the teething, Sawyer is doing the same thing with chewing on his fists, my hair, his clothes, etc. I'm sure it is teething but he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort. It can be a long process, so I'm not inclined to give him medication (orajel or otherwise) because it could go on for a while. I've heard the orajel doesn't really do anything for them anyways. My pediatrician give us a prescription for some concoction he makes up but I've never gotten it filled. Good luck!
Gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat is so scary about the day care. Uck, what is wrong with people?!!
You have the sweetest little family! Just came across your blog :) I'm your newest follower!!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours, LOVE your holiday photos. Just gorgeous! XOXO
Beautiful pictures! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteHey lady!! Yeah Hylands tablets were pulled a few months ago (just after I discovered them and they worked like a champ) but the same company that makes "Gripe Water" makes "Little Teethers" teething tablets. They work! I got some at Babies R Us. Also, the Hylands Gel is still out there and works. When all else fails Tylenol my friend!! It will save your sanity.
ReplyDeleteMERRY HARPERS FIRST CHRISTMAS!!!

Camden started what we thought was teething a couple of months ago. She's now 7 months and just cut 4 teeth at once. So- you never know. As far as daycare...expensive doesn't mean better. We had Sage in the cheapest one in town and the BEST. We loved them.
ReplyDeleteI may have 1 or 2 bottles extra of the teething tablets if you want me to send you them! My Little Man is still teething, but we usually just use Tylenol now that he is older. I will have to look, but if you are interested, send me an email: mamasmessages@gmail.com!
ReplyDeleteheehee, the ones with you guys kissing him are too funny...his faces are priceless!
ReplyDeleteand congrats on getting that white Christmas that you wanted ;)
