16 Teeth November 24, 2009
Kendal has been cutting all 4 eye teeth at once. In fact, when we went to the Dr for the last cold, the doctor was surprised at how swollen all of her gums were. Cutting all of those teeth at once has meant that her hands are constantly in her mouth and she is back to chewing on everything she can get into her mouth. (Which has resulted in back-to-back-to-back colds for both Kendal and I.) Finally in the last couple of weeks the teeth have broken through one by one. First her upper left, then upper right, followed by lower left. The lower right has still to break the surface, but it is only a matter of days.
Even though they have broken the surface, they still continue to bother her. Teeth brushing has become quite difficult again and her little eye teeth buds bleed a bit each time I brush, so I am sure they hurt.
Once that last I tooth breaks through, she will officially have all 16 teeth. Hopefully that will be it for a while. Judging from the size of her mouth, I expect her two-year-old molars to be late like all of her other teeth have been. I hope this will also bring us a break from being sick!
