Watch out!

Little Markert has teeth!  Yes, plural...just like his sister, not wasting any time and producing two at a time! And months ahead of their peers!  Some kids don't teethe til their first birthday. We thought it was starting last week from the amount of drool and his inability to keep things out of his mouth. But when I massaged his gums I didn't feel anything and disregarded the concern. The weekend came and went with no additional fuss. It was his teacher that brought it to my attention Monday afternoon!  What a champ. Grew new teeth and didn't even complain...UNlike his sister. For memory's sake, I looked back at old pictures from when her first teeth were breaking through:

It was Easter Sunday of 2010. One of the most challenging days of motherhood I've experienced to date! I didn't know what was wrong, and while we were giving her Orajel, it was just a guess as to what was wrong, and it clearly wasn't helping from the look of her little face!!  Poor princess. These aren't attractive poses, sweetie.

And then here's Bryson while his first teeth are coming in:

(His sister put the hat on his head.) 

Quite a difference, huh?!  How was I to know that this happy camper was in any pain whatsoever?!
