thankful#114: more teeth

I swear I have been saying that Dagny "is teething" for months now. MONTHS. Like, the last TWELVE months. Since she was about 4 months old she has been one big drool fountain on and off, she has phases where she gnaws on her fist non-stop or rubs her face on my shoulder as hard as she can. But her poor little teeth seem to take forever to actually cut their way through. About two weeks ago or so she had another bout of what I was blaming on teething - her sleep was all messed up, she was inconsolable, she was jamming her fist in her mouth, and was just plain miserable. It lasted two or three nights and then slowly tapered off back to her normalcy. And tonight I noticed that she had TWO new teeth! What's a little odd to me is that she skipped the normal growth pattern - she had her top four and bottom front two, but then she skipped the top cuspids and went straight to the molars. On the bottom, she skipped the lateral inscisor and went straight to the cuspid. I'm hoping that those molars were what were giving her so much grief. She finally has something to show for all of that pain and misery and hopefully one of the toughest parts is over.
