Teething stinks!

Tyler has been cutting all 4 of his top teeth for over a week now. I feel like this is reason he has been more cranky than normal and has had so many reoccurring high fevers. Last Sunday was no exception. He was puny pretty much all day and HOT! We kept him in only a onesie and had a cold washrag on him most of the time. He was perfectly content to be held, cuddle and fall asleep on whoever had him. He didn't want to eat and when I called the our pediatrician's 24 hour line, the nurse on call said we had to get more fluids in him. She wanted at least 4oz in him before we put him to bed and suggest giving pedialyte in a dropper. It took forever and he made a mess, but we got it down.
Cuddling with Granna...Bonnie wanted in on the loving, too.
Sweet baby had a 104 temp here.
Look at those chunky monkey legs!
But then he woke up and was so happy with the rag on his head!
Granna giving pedialyte and Mommy cutting toenails. Ha!
Took forever because he wanted to grab it.
At the end, we let him play with it and he loved it!
So far, 3 of the 4 teeth have broken through. He is still working on getting the middle right tooth and had a fever again today. Poor buddy! Teething is for the birds!
