More Pointy ...

Cale's upper canine teeth have been slow to come in; they're still just points between his front teeth and his molars. This morning, I felt the lower left canine tooth's point, and this afternoon the lower right joined it. I mentioned that Cale seemed out of sorts to his pediatrician, but she couldn't find anything wrong. She did say that canines can be very worrisome teething. The picture now is a double whammy: a growth spurt, and all four canine teeth pushing through. This is why Cale isn't sleeping as well, and wants to cuddle calmly.

Pointy

Cale's upper canine teeth just poked through. His gums are swollen around these two teeth, the points have just come through, and Cale is gnawing on everything in sight. Teething is one of Cale's few reasons to be fussy and to wake at night (along with illness and growth spurt). I hope these sharp teeth come through quickly!
