Scary Times
Zane is either:
a) teething again (still)
b) preparing to cover himself in a cocoon of ectoplasmic goo so as to emerge a fully-toothed young boy at a later date
Yesterday Zane was literally covered in goo: it was coming out of his nose, he was drooling, as well as shoving both hands in his mouth to extract it manually. And since he hasn’t learned the fine art of using his sleeve I had to use mine and am thus slimed by association. Serious slime goo boy.
While I didn’t get photographic evidence, there were a few moments right after wiping off goo that I gained enough purchase to peel up a lip and look for teeth. There’s serious angry red gum tooth outlines, but nothing has breached.
And he’s not always very happy these days. Lots of fussing and crying for no apparent reason. Lots of pushing the bottle away. But, i feel like it’s all happened before.
Poor little guy.

See the shape of his eyes? That’s Daddy’s! See the goo dripping down his face? Just like Daddy!

Hi all! I’m sure you have taken his temperature. Sometimes two things or even three things are going on. Teething would be enough but you have to always keep open to upper respiratory or ear possibilities. Poor Zane he has two Grandmaw nurses!
