Thanks, Amy.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yes sj, also those teeth can take months to come in. I swear my kids were chewing and drooling from about 6 months, and neither one sprouted teeth until they were close to a year.

Lilly had three teeth by three months, so yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not a parent, but I feel like I read an article recently about how parents attribute all kinds of things to teething that are actually unrelated.

Well that's probably true, Jesse. The fact that infants are notoriously vague about what's bothering them leaves a lot open to interpretation.
After a while I could discern hungry tears from tired tears no problem, but general fussiness was harder to determine.

And really, you might as well say it's teething, if the alternative is "who knows why," right?
I mistimed my morning and now I think I'm going to have to leave with laundry still in the washing machine. Oy. It is also ridiculous how long it took and how proud of myself I am that I just washed my shower curtain.

Argh. I just spent an hour vacuuming the upstairs only to discover the vacuum bag had come detached and all that dust is now clinging to the inside of the bag compartment. Did I mention that I am trying to get rid of fleas and want to contain that mess?
Sigh.
Off to dig out the shop vac, so I can vacuum the inside of my vacuum. I think I need lunch first to fortify myself.

Thanks, everyone.

Yeah, I've got hungry cry and diaper cry down. I don't think she really has a tired cry because she doesn't get overtired, but the general fussiness always leaves me at a loss for what to do.

Because books.
There's always general fussiness, but when they're gnawing, whether it's on a fist or a board book or whatever, I usually figure their gums have to be sore.
I wish I lived closer. I'd be happy to distract a fussy baby for you!
