Kari – Jasper seems to like the frozen banana, how did Liam like it?

Meggin, Jasper has been eating the quinoa for about a month now and is a very regular once a day pooper again :)

Kirk is finally off his reflux medicine (for 2 weeks). He has eaten banana, apple, pear, winter squash and earth’s best rice cereal. I was nervous about him being constipated but it has been the opposite, we had the biggest blowout ever 2 days ago!! Let me know Jasper does with the quoinna. I have been too scared to try anything else?

Drool, lack of appetite, increased chewing, slight fever, runny stools and disrupted sleep…sure sign of teeth to come.

snotty nose, congestion, disrupted sleep, fussy while awake and a fever that spikes at night or after medicine is given…sure sign of ear infection. They say to that kids will pull on their ear, but neither of my boys do that.

Definitely sounds like teething… except for the fever part. That could indicate an ear infection – it’s worth ruling out. Beautiful hat, beautiful boy! Wish I could knit/crochet, or something. And one of these days I really am going to figure out all the bells and whistles on my Canon EOS D40, not to mention the associated software (Did your Rebel come with editing software too? I’m wondering if it will suffice, or if I’m going to need to get some Adobe)… in the meantime, I really enjoy your photo tips! :)

Yay for teeth! And an answer to Jasper’s behavior lately. Noah’s on tooth #6 (!!!) and four out of six have made their appearance in the past month. Suffice to say that he’s been a bit of a bear lately. Keep an eye out for the “matching” tooth…Noah’s bottom two came in within a week of each other.

To help him out, I took a washcloth, knotted it, soaked it in cold water and then put it in the fridge for a while. Noah likes to gnaw on the cold, wet knot part.

Lelu, I hope he feels better soon!

Sarah, I just tried an ice cube. No go. I think he doesn’t like the mesh itself! I’ll keep trying. I had NO idea about the tooth but since the nurse showed me now I can’t believe I didn’t see it before.

Jbhat, not off topic at all.. I actually had been telling everyone that Jasper had become more demanding and less easy going over the past week. I thought it was a personality change, now I think he’s just been uncomfortable poor guy!

This may be sort of off-topic, but my husband and I always realized after the fact that when our kiddo seemed grumpy or fussy or otherwise out of sorts that he was doing lots of physical growing. We’d notice all of the sudden that clothes wouldn’t fit anymore and then go Ohh! So that’s why he’s been so cranky/not sleeping/etc. It seemed that during periods of more “intellectual” or developmental growth that he’d be way more easy going.

Teething was always a mystery to me though. I, for one, am glad that we don’t really remember that ourselves when we are older. It must be really uncomfortable.

I just stick a plain old ice cube in the mesh feeder. ds goes nuts! I have also heard frozen peaches work well too!
Good luck! Jasper and alex are just days apart and I have yet to see teeth with alex either. we shall see!
Good luck again!
