Teething

The last few days have been pretty interesting, to say the least. Yea, it has been Christmas week and there will be posts about that, but Landon teething is what I am referring too. Throw in his hair-trigger gag reflex, and you have nights filled with crying, throw-up, and whining.

He recently got his front left tooth and it looks like his front right tooth is coming in. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, anyone? It's hard to see in his mouth and we cannot tell if any other teeth are coming in. We hope if any of them are coming in, they get here soon. He's got all the teething symptoms, which started Christmas Eve... figures. So, we've been battling that while trying to juggle everything during the holidays. Additionally, Christi is coming down with a cold, so she isn't feeling well.

For some reason he is super clingy and it seems the only person he wants is... me. I have no idea why. I think it has something to do with me leaving for 2 weeks a few months ago. Either way, it makes everyone else feel badly because he only wants me to hold him. I'm unsure what to do since I want to calm him down but at the same time if I do he will continue this behavior. Normally I try to let him sit with someone else and he calms down, but in extreme cases I'll pick him up and calm him down.

We didn't get much sleep last night. After gagging on his medicine and launching throw-up all over the kitchen, he was very irritable last night. We got him to sleep at his normal bedtime, but he woke up around 3 am and did not want to go back to sleep. Eventually, we gave him some milk and he calmed down, but only after we laid on the couch together. I'm expecting him to be especially whiny today since he didn't sleep well. That combined with being tired from a lack of sleep, it makes for long days.

Hopefully he will feel better soon. It's definitely not his normal behavior. I'll keep you updated on how he is doing
