About a month ago I posted about teething. According to this photo, Hattie's lower central incisors and upper right central incisor are fully erupted. Her upper left central incisor, lower lateral incisors and upper left canine are all partially erupted-7 teeth exposed to the air!

Yesterday Hattie was very irritable and there was a lot of biting going on. Upon investigation this morning, Hattie has 3 white, swollen areas on her gums, so I believe that both her upper lateral incisors and her upper right canine are all preparing to erupt.

I'm excited that she'll have 10 of her baby teeth by the end of this round, and hopeful that she'll continue to get new teeth monthly until we're done. I am impatient for her to be able to eat a wider variety of (non-pureed or overcooked) foods. At the same time, I'm a little stressed out. These days before the teeth actually erupt seem to be the most painful to her and we are both not quite ourselves during teething days.

Thankfully, Chris was able to rock Hattie to sleep last night after a few failed nursing attempts and a long walk that did not result in any sweet dreams.
