Teething?!?

Well, Z's teeth may not have appeared through his gums, but Z is acting like they're going to pop out any minute. In this pic, he was coveting Daddy's apple during dinner and G decided to give him a taste. He loved it and proceeded to gnaw on the darn thing until he actually started gnawing it in half. That was the end of Z's first apple experience, but doesn't he look happy with the apple and his fingers?

I swear that A teethed for 3 months before his first one pushed through when A was 6 months old. Z is right around the corner from 6 months, and he's been drooling seriously and gnawing on anything he can get his mouth or hands on for at least a month. I guess he's like his brother.

The biggest downfall to this pre-teething madness is the lack of sleep for both me and Z. He's still up 2-3 times a night, and two days ago, he was up literally every 1.5 hours. Zombie might be the best word to describe me the next day. Too bad he can't talk yet because I'd love to know what's been keeping him up, but I guess I'll just have to keep guessing and going with the flow. Wish us luck.
