Teething bites


Yea, lame, I know. But it's so true. I swear that I am living with a snapping turtle. This child actually stalks you. If you get anywhere near her, she will snatch you up and bite. Hard. She has even become a master of luring you in. I have suckered countless times by her lame "whine, whine *looks around to see if you're coming*, whine louder, only to be pounced and devoured when I get within her reach.

Our days are filled with bite, bite, chew, chew, slobber, slobber, slobber. Repeat.

I know you aren't technically supposed to let them chew on your fingers, but I don't care. She likes it, and when she is hurting, I will provide relief as I can. So for now, I will offer up my fingers and thumb pad, even if that means watching her clamp so hard that her head actually shakes with the force she is exerting.

  1. April you have just discribed Piper. This kid will gnaw on anything except a teething ring. She prefers bones. She likes to chomp on my boob too. I try to explain that it is not nice but she doesn't care.
