First tooth!

We have been having so much fun around the Lyda house lately. Gideon brings so much laughter to Jared and I. At night when Jared gets home from work, we often just sit and let Gideon entertain us! He is so funny. He makes the cutest faces at us and loves to laugh. He has such a sweet spirit. Its hard to believe that he will be 6 months old next week. The time is just flying by. I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home with him 


Poor little babes though, has been teething for quite some time. Looking back over the last month or so, his sleep has been way off and he has been much more cranky... all signs of teething. Im not sure why I didn't put the pieces of the puzzle together until AFTER he cut his first tooth on Tuesday this week!!!! I was feeling bad last week because I had given him Tylenol quite a bit because it was really the only thing that would calm him down at night so that he would go to bed. I was actually afraid I was over medicating him... its a fine line for sure. (I still don't think I'm super in tune with my "motherly instinct") It was kind of a relief to know that he actually was teething and in pain when I had given him the medicine instead of just wanting some to be held before bed or needing attention. I went to a local store here called Mother's Haven and picked up a homeopathic teething remedy. It has clove and chamomile in it so it soothes his gums and also helps him to relax. Two very good things for a cranky, uncomfortable, tired, teething baby! 


I have been super bad about taking pictures lately, but here is a bath time picture of Jared and Gideon. He is getting so big and looking like his daddy more and more every day!! 

Thanks for stopping by!
