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.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yeah, Jane has been doing the drooling-and-gnawing-on-fists thing for at least a month, maybe more?
And really, you might as well say it's teething, if the alternative is "who knows why," right?
Exactly -- not much to be done about it either way anyway! If you really think her gums are hurting her, you could always try some Orajel, though it never seemed to do much for Rose.
So we had a great time with Liese and honorary Buffista J and Gris and family yesterday, and Liese surprised me with a birthday gift: a copy of Updraft! Yay! I can't wait to read it!
