Somebody's teething...

Caleb has been working on getting tooth #8 to come in for weeks. he'll have a few days of major drooling/fussiness and i always think that the tooth has got to be on its way out by the next day. but so far there's nothing but swollen gums and a very upset baby. we've tried teething tablets and ty.len.ol but they're not helping enough. the rest of his teeth came in with some fussiness, but this one is especially hard on him. it's the tooth on his bottom right side, next to the two middle teeth. i'm sure that his having an ear infection and cold isn't helping matters (his cold is almost gone now and he's been on meds since friday for the ear infection). today he drooled like crazy, was very clingy and woke up from his nap in a verrrry grumpy mood. it took about 45 minutes for him to snap out of it. he usually loves to practice walking and it will always put him in a good mood but today, not even that was working. here's a video that was taken this afternoon of my poor baby. at least i'm able to comfort him a little... even if it doesn't last for very long.
