Booboo was NOT a happy camper. At all. ALL DAY.
I really don't know what is wrong. I think/thought he is teething but I thought for sure that the suspect tooth would have come in by now if that was the issue. He woke up at 5am (sorry Daddy, it was your day!) screaming. Chris thinks I jinxed him. I have a bad habit of this. I always say things like "You know, B hasn't woken up crying in over a month!" so of course you know the very next day he wakes up crying.
He didn't take one, single nap ALL day. Scary. I took his temp a billion times, checked his gums, gave him his frozen teething ring, put him in his walker, bouncy, jumperoo, superseat and swing. The only thing that mildly worked was the jumperoo.
It was a long day. I ended up putting him in his crib last night WIDE awake. He's always asleep when I lay him down. The good thing was he eventually did put himself to sleep. It only took maybe 30 mins but it's good to know that he can do that.
He woke up this morning at 6:50. Hopefully today is a better day!

I am so sorry that you had a bad day yesterday. I bet it is the teeth. My babies (I have 3 children) and when they were teething they were out of it. There was no schedule, no reason for things you just went with what makes them happy at the time and then paise the Lord when the teeth finally come thru.
It was great that he put himself to sleep. My first child we always put down asleep then when she was a toddler we needed to start putting her down when she was awake...that was the longest and hardest week of listening to her scream for us that we ever went thru. We learned and we put the other two down awake from the get go.
I hope your little one gets these teeth thru soon! Amy
That picture is just sad. LOL Cute, but sad. Bless his heart. I hope today is a better day for you both. :)
Miss Marlie acted like she was teething months before it actually cut through. They have all natural teething tablets at Wal-Mart or such places that you should get for him. They just dissolve under their little tongues and seem to make all the difference. B will Thank You! LOL I'm glad he was able to put himself to sleep, it seems the bigger they get, they harder it is for them to self soothe. Congrats...he's growin up! LOL
I second the Coach's Wife's comment. Get teething tablets. They worked great for my son, and they are homeopathic so you won't feel like you are "drugging" Brayden.
Good luck!
OH yuck - poor B! Now you know how a typical day at our house is like. ha! Maybe minus the unhappiness - but we never take naps (or sleep at night. UGH!)
It's probably teething - I bet a tooth pops up this week. OR do you think it could be an ear infection? All of my friends' kids are always getting those so I'm paranoid. I always make the doctor check her ears. In fact - I was going to take Harper today because she was tugging her ear but she has quit and I think it had to do with her teething.
It's so hard to figure out sometimes!
awww bless his heart!! Try teething tablets, they work for Brody! Hope today has been a better day!!
Oh, I hope he has a better day today!!
Isn't that face so pitiful. Hope he is feeling better today! Hope you have a better day too!
I am a dental hygienist and I tried lots of things to help my little girl get through teething and the otc teething tablets seemed to work best. They dissolve right on their tongue. Good luck, I hope it helps!
I hate days/nights like that. I always feel like pulling my hair out partly because he's so miserable and partly because I'm so sleep deprived. I hope that he's doing better soon. *hugs*
Oh! I've had those days and seen those faces! Let us know that today was better!
that little face is seriously priceless!! hope today is a better day for you all!!
My baby, Eli, was like that about two weeks ago...then he seemed better and all of a sudden there was the tooth. So hang in there...it may be coming soon. :)
Poor baby!! That little pout just made me sad :( Hopefully today will be MUCH better!
I am sorry B had a bad day, but he looks REALLY cute!!!!!!!!!!!
hope he feels better asap! He is still so cute, even when not feeling 10%
poor guy! i hope today was a better day - for ALL of you!! =)
Pitiful but priceless! Teething can do some crazy things...hope today was better for both of you!
Awe! poor boy! Poor mom and dad! I desire children very much,, HOWEVER......... not on these days. *laugh*
cindie
Aww...he is still so sweet...even with that sad face on!
My mom always reminded me that even babies have cranky/bad mood days...just like you and I.
I hope things get better!
Eek! Hope today WAS a better day for you!!!
Teething sucks, I am so sorry! Motrin...that is all I have to say. I hope you had a better day today.
Your little man is adorable!
Teething tablets (Hylands) ROCK!!!! They always knocked my kids OUT! I used them with all 3 of my kiddos & they are all in grade-school now. Almost scared me a bit, but everyone (mom, dad, baby) got rest.
Hope today was better! :)
Aww, the poor kiddo. (And poor you, too!) I hope he's feeling better soon.
Love your new blog look!
Hi Jenna,
I've been a reader of your blog since the birth of Brayden. I check back often to see how the little man I prayed for is doing....looks like is doing awesome despite the bad couple of days. He is ADORABLE!! Love the picture in the next post with the carrots. hehe. Anyway, just wanted to say (maybe this is what everyone is saying) that he very well may be teething still. GOSH, I remember, at least with my son, was "teething" long before a tooth ever cut--the drooling, crabiness etc. OR B could just be having a bad day. I think as parents we always want there to be an answer to what is bothering them, BUT he could just be having "one of those days"! Thanks for sharing your story.
