majorly teething

chubby cheeks has been teething even before he was 3 months old.  he turns 5 months tomorrow and the tooth still hasn't come out.  he's not his usual happy self and nanny has to sing to him to get him to finish his bottle.  poor baby....  mik and i have decided that once this tooth comes out and falls out in a few years, we are going to beat the crap out of it for hurting our baby.  mik says we'll beat it to death in "the middle of a corn field with bats". i agreed 100%.

the teething comes and goes and right now, it's pretty bad. tooth, stop hurting my baby and come out already! i wish i could take away maki's pain/discomfort... now i understand why there's a tooth fairy and why we give money when the tooth falls out. what i don't understand is why some people only give 25 cents per tooth. did you not see all the discomfort and pain they go through?!!! i'm not saying give $100 per tooth but give at least $5.

here are some pics of maki taken the past 2 days by the nanny...   do you see a trend here?
