A Teething Baby is a Dangerous Creature

Layla is creeping up on six months (half birthday already, yikes!) and has recently begun teething. Typically you don't see any teeth come through until about the seventh month but they take some time to work their way in. As a result of her new found discomfort, Mommy and Daddy have become little more than chew toys. She is a bit more irritable which is to be expected, however I did not anticipate the lack of comfort she would get from the teething rings that we have. Basically, she will put her mouth on anything and everything she can get her hands on, but apparently they are just not as good as our fingers. She gnaws on our knuckles like a ferocious beast and the screams in between make her seem like a ravenous monster!

Luckily for us, none of these impending teeth have come through yet so we have not really been hurt by her incessant chewing, it just gets a bit sore after a while. I will say though that it is pretty funny to watch... :) Our little pumpkin is well on her way to eating solid foods, how does it happen so fast?!
