Teeth?

Its hard to believe that Kingston is almost 3 and 1/2 months old - time is flying by! There are many exciting things happening day by day - he is an avid smiler, loves to laugh and coo, and has started grabbing toys! We spend time each day working on sitting up, standing and rolling over (which I fear may never happen because he screams when he is on his tummy...so he may sit before he rolls!!). However for the last 2 weeks we have had a serious regression in our nighttime routine - he has been up every 2-3 hours - what happened to my 6-7 hours of sleep (note: he has NEVER slept through the night, which means I have pretty much been sleep deprived since June, when I started getting up frequently to use the bathroom at night!). Apparently, according to my pediatrician, Kingston is exhibiting many signs of teething - thats right TEETH!!! There are two little bumps where teeth are going to come up soon - how soon though, is my worry(apparently this process takes a while sometimes!). So we will see how this progresses - tonight we are trying some infant Tylenol and I made sure there was no napping close to bedtime. Pray for some nighttime relief - some days I can't remember my full name lol! Life is getting a little easier and more fun by the day - we are still working on becoming a better napper (for Kingston - I am a great napper given the chance!!). However, this skill has been hampered a bit by the teething, so we are just focusing the basics right now (i.e. nightime sleep) and if I have to hold him for a daytime nap I am not letting it bother me - he is growing so quickly I am snuggling him every chance I get!
