Oliver has started teething on the big front teeth. I have heard from others that their little ones were unaffected when their teeth came in. Oliver is not so lucky and neither are we. Alissa didn't get much sleep last night due to her inability to sleep thru a baby's cries, lucky for Oliver. He'd have to attach a police siren to his crib to wake me up.
Oliver has a cold to go along with his teething woes, thank you Children's museum. I wonder if it was him drinking from the kiddie pool or licking the play mats in the 'crawlers only' section? But, I hear he needs the exposure, yahee.
His cold doesn't stop him from wanting to pound on the computer from my lap... stop it... I have had to correct five of Oliver's spelling errors so far. Ahh, my shoulder looks like it has been molested by a tree slug, snot everywhere.
So far today the only thing that makes him happy is dancing with me to 'The Talking Heads'. I know this brings up two immediate questions; "Brek, you know how to dance?" and "How do you dance to 'The Talking Heads?".
No, I don't know how to dance, but Oliver seems to think I am really good at it. And, since I don't know how to dance, dancing to the Talking Heads is actually really easy. And, again, Oliver thinks I am awesome at it and it makes him happy. As long as no one else sees me doing it then everything is fine.
I think Oliver is trying to get my attention. He is on all fours and repeatedly banging the top of his head against my leg but he's not crying... maybe this is a new game for him, now of course I have snot on my pants leg, my cute little snot monkey.
Ahhh, poor baby, poor Moma and poor Daddy. Hope those little teeth come in soon and that cold goes away even sooner. Remember, cold to chew on and orajel to ease the pain. Hope it helps. Also, if his nose gets sore from wiping, some vaseline around it will help. Hang in there and keep dancing, distraction is a great thing!!
