teething woes

I know it's a struggle every mom faces, but oi, the I-won't-eat-cause-it-hurts-n-I-just-am-out-of-sorts episodes are getting old! It's the not-eating part that gets to me the most, probably cause I've worried about him not gaining enough weight his whole life. But Little Bear is a great eater (when not in one of these teething spells) and just burns the calories off with his active lifestyle. Balls are definitely a favorite. He loves to wind up and throw them with all his might. Then when we say to "kick it" with his football (soccer ball), he totally does it! What a fun stage...minus the teething and temporary toddler tantrums.
