Teething Troubles

On the bright side, we didn't have any issues with Bubeaner only getting one Nana per day.  He actually didn't even get a single one today.  He did ask for them but did not really make a bid deal about not getting one because he was in so much pain.  We had to give him BabyOrajel and either Motrin or Tylenol every 4-5 hours.  Bubeaner was just not feeling well.  And inspecting his teeth, there was a HUGE difference even from yesterday.  It's really no wonder he was fussy.

He insisted on carrying his lovey around all day.  Usually he only uses it for nap and bed times.  And Bubeaner kept asking to be carried and rocked.  He still played a little but did not even take out all his favorite toys.  And more telling, he took 2 long naps today (morning and afternoon)!  He was a little better in the evening, but still not his normal cheerful disposition.

We don't put the faucet handles on until we use the tub.  

We don't want Bubeaner accidentally turning it on.

Bubeaner has outgrown his jumperoo.  It's not a surprise considering he's almost 17 months old.  However, we mainly used it to contain entertain him while we got ready in the mornings.  He's such an early riser (and Momma is not) that he's always awake before us.  The jumperoo kept him happy and out of trouble as we quickly got ready.  We started putting him in the master tub with some toys.  He mainly likes to watch the water from the shower.  And then entertains himself with the toys.  So far it's working.  But sadly it is only a very short temporary plan.  Bubeaner's already attempting to escape/climb out.  Soon he will be tall (and brave) enough to do it.  No other option but to completely childproof the bathroom.

Bubeaner continues to add to his vocabulary.  As of late, his favorite past time is ordering Sandy around.  He will actually give her commands!  His favorite are "sit" and "down".  And he uses them correctly.  Sandy is not as thrilled with this new development.  However, she does like the extra attention and love.  And she will obey his commands every once in a while.
