Teething!?

Patrick has been sucking on his hands alot lately. He also makes a slobbery drooly mess almost constantly. Not to mention occasionally crying for no reason we can figure out. My mom mentioned he might be teething.

"No way!" I said. "It is way too early for that...isn't it?"

I looked it up. It is a little early, but not uncommon. Wow! I didn't expect teething to start until around 6 months. I was obviously quite mistaken!

I have read that it can still take a few months for the tooth/teeth to surface once teething begins. It really all depends on the baby. I am just really surprised by this, it is happening so much sooner than I thought it would...

My little plumpkin is growing so fast! =\
