...we know we'll have our share (to paraphrase Led Zeppelin).
Today started pretty nicely. After breakfast, Michelle and I took turns playing with Jonah while the other one showered. Then we took advantage of the weather and went for a nice walk. Jonah looked all about, checking out the changing autumn leaves and the other sights.
Things went downhill, though, when we got home and it was time for him to eat. He erupted in tears, and was nearly inconsolable. We did eventually calm him, and he got some sleep. He was the same at his next feeding, though, and we couldn't figure out what was wrong. He was clean, well slept, and we were trying to feed him. No fever, so we figured he wasn't sick.
Our only thought: could he be teething already? He is exhibiting the usual symptoms. Thanks to the power of the internet and confirmation from some books, it seems it is possible. We tried chilling some of the teething items we have, and he seemed soothed by the chilled pacifier, but wouldn't keep the teething ring in his mouth. The pacifier also couldn't be in his mouth to eat, so I ran out to pick up some Teething Tablets and Baby Oragel. We tried the Oragel first, and it seemed to have done the trick so we again had a feeding baby.
We were hoping to get out later in the day to spend some time enjoying the unseasonably warm weather on a blanket in the back yard. With a happy baby, we opted to make that happen, though it was later than anticipated. I'm really glad we did, because Jonah seemed to have a really good time (and we definitely did!).
I will let you judge for yourself, though. I capture this little bit of the fun.
