It's not easy...getting teeth...

Poor Matteo. This teething thing is kicking his butt...literally. It all began Saturday when I spoted a white line in his mouth. I felt up there and felt the very tip of a tooth poking thru. He wasn't acting fussy or anything, so I was very excited.

Fast forward to Sunday, still not a lot of fuss, but he had started pullin at his left ear, usually a sure sign of ear infection. Great. To top it off, he also broke out in a horrible case of diaper rash! He was crying every time we changed his diaper. And, I'm not talking about whimpering. No, it's the full on, I'm-in-pain, mom-why-are-you-doing-this-to-me, cry. The kind of cry that bring moms to tears. My poor baby.

Monday we took a quick trip to the doctor, and sure enough it's an ear infection, so back on amoxicycilian he went. They also gave me this concoction of diaper rash stuff for his bottom. It's a combination of Desitan, Mylanta and Aquaphor ointment. It's kind of gross to mix up, but I'm hoping it works. You never feel so helpless until your baby is crying and there's nothing you can do about it!

Keep your fingers crossed...it works!
