Pax got another tooth today. Wow that's two in two days. Our poor baby is in pain. He is still sleeping through the night and taking good naps, but during the day I can tell he is hurting. He is cranky unless he is distracted, which is just the opposite of how he normally is. Yesterday, Pax was facing me on my lap and I was singing pat-a-cake to him, when we were done he just looked at me, his face became long, and bam began to cry. It broke my heart because I know his mouth was hurting and I wanted more than anything to take his pain away from him. We are a little apprehensive of giving him too much medication because we feel the Western world sometimes tends to over medicate. The Eastern countries have a completely different medical philosophy. Anyway, that's a whole other blog entry. We did give him a little infant Tylenol and let him suck on some ice and just have to keep his mind occupied. He still laughs if you tickle him, chase after him, let him look at the world upside down, and dance in front of him, but this kid used to laugh even if you sneezed. Does anybody know how long the pain lasts?

Just a couple of days. We just gave Madeline that Baby Orajel. It seemed to help, I think. Also, for us, Motrin worked better than tylenol for teething pain. Good luck!
