Since John Patrick started solids almost a month ago, I’ve been so focused on his eating that it was his daycare teacher who first noticed that he had cut a tooth. To make a long story short, here are all the symptoms I thought were caused by “carrots” but were indeed symptoms of teething: [...]
I am continuously shocked at how fast John Patrick grows. Here are two pictures comparing him at 1 week and 11 weeks. And yes, that’s the same pacifier!!
