Teething Bites!

He already has his two bottom teeth, BUT we are working on the top two. Man is teething an adventure! There are things that you are never prepared for like...
1. Waking up at midnight and staying awake until 2 in the morning. Followed by sleeping in a chair with your baby cuddled up next to you because that is the only way either of you will get any sleep.
2. A baby who is so uncomfortable, all they do is this little whine. Which completely annoys his dad to no end.
3. A baby in which nothing will make him happy. Not even bubbles.

Luckily... over the years... people have come up with some ingenious ideas to remedy SOME of the teething troubles.
1. Teething tablets! Lucas and myself are HUGE fans of these.
2. Cold wash clothes that he can just chew on. This only works some of the time.
3. Finally, these little mesh teething things that you can put cold fruit in. This was a HUGE hit the other day!

If you have any other tips, BESIDES tylenol, please feel free to share. Since we are only working on 4 of the ... whatever number of teeth a baby gets, I am open to many suggestions.
"Mom, my teeth are bugging the ... out of me."
"What is this thing?"
"Why is it so cold?"
"What is the yummy taste?"
"It feels so good."
"Why didn't you think of this before?"
"I feel so much better!"
"I can get back to playing and having fun."
