The surprises just keep rolling in

Well Ethan is feeling much better. The reason for him not feeling so well yesterday.............. he cut another tooth. I was giving him a bottle last night before putting him to bed. I noticed that he was grinding his jaw. It sounded like there was something hard in his mouth. Of course he wouldn't let me check so I just waited till he fell asleep & rubbed my finger over his gums. Low & behold I could feel the ridges of a tooth coming in on the top. I don't like that he is grinding his teeth though. It was a bad habit I had as a child & not always easy to break. Even after he fell asleep he continues to grind his teeth. I didn't really know what to do about that so I put a binky in his mouth to stop it (I really hate those things only resort to them rarely). I think once the tooth has come in he'll stop right now he's just trying to get it through. At least that explains why he was throwing up & so fussy. It's so exciting that this is happening but also a little sad b/c he's is growing so fast. I love watching all these things happening to him & I am so happy that I can be home with him so I don't miss out on anything. Every day is an adventure with Ethan.
