8th tooth

We can now see the tip of Swe-cha's lower left incisor.

7th tooth

I just saw the tip of Swe-cha's 7th tooth - the right lower lateral incisor.

Gosh, I didn't think that my son would have this much teeth this soon. No wonder he's so sungit.

4th tooth

Just saw the tip of Swe-cha's 4th tooth - the left upper central incisor - break out of his gums. It's not completely out yet but it should be in the next day or two.

No wonder, he's been irritable all day today and has poor appetite. He'd rather chew on his toys than drink milk or eat solids.

3rd tooth

One of Swe-cha's central upper incisor (the right one) erupted today.

Yay! This explains his crankiness and frequent crying bouts these past few days.

Teething

We're officially in the teething stage.

Swe-Cha's lower central incisors erupted a few days ago. I have not yet been able to take a decent picture as he would always stick out his tongue when I try to expose his teeth / gums.

Last night, he gave me a pleasant surprise - the baby who had been waking up to feed every 2 hrs (3, if we're lucky) suddenly slept through the night. He slept for 5 hrs and 15 minutes. Straight.

I am amazed how he could go from being a snacker to STTN but then again, I shouldn't be surprised because he can also go from calm & peaceful to screaming with hunger in 0 seconds.

*smile* Hay! My son talaga :D

Unfortunately, there is a downside to my story. When Swe-cha woke up after the 5 hr, 15 minute sleep ? He took 3 oz of milk and stayed awake. He tossed and turned. He whined, moaned, and cried. He normally does not wake up for the day till around 8:30 to 9:30am and this was only at 5:30am!

He did not calm down until hubby thought about getting him a chilled teether. Thankfully, Swe-cha has enough dexterity in his hands and fingers to hold onto his teether now (tamad lang most of the time and wouldn't hold onto it if I'm there to hold it for him) so Daddy has gone back to sleep. Mommy, on the other hand, still has milking duties to perform.
