Update from the trenches

Q: What does it mean to be a mother of a seventh month old child?  
A: Recording Saturday Night Live because 9 pm is now the new witching hour!

Q: What song was secretly written about teething?
A  "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths 

Okay- fours bad days, one amazing day (yesterday), and an okay day (today).  Sleeping and teething just don't seem to mix.  I drove Miles for three separate naps, and Jesse took Miles for a final spin- which did buy us 8 hours of solid snooze.  

Miles is truly inconsolable at times.  No cold chew toys, nay to teething rings, nada to Tylenol, no way Jose to Motrin, fogeda'bout it to frozen wash clothes. . .looks like time is all he wants.  I'm betting that I'll be sporting a few gray hairs and a couple more wrinkles when that itby-bitty chomper arrives.

Miles is hard on your gas budget, I bet!
We drove Ben around a lot, too. It does get better!
