Beginnings of Teething

I think Serif is beginning to teeth. He's always gone to sleep pretty easily and all it would take is for me to lay him back in a cradle position, give him his pacifier and in a matter of seconds he'd close his eyes spit out the pacifier and start winding down. When I lay him in his crib he shifts a little, but will go right off to sleep with no questions asked. Well . . . this week also posed a new question about this routine. He is now chewing on the pacifier instead of sucking on it and then spits it out and chews on both thumbs! Now along with that comes lots of jabbering/fussing. It takes him about 5-10 minutes of this before he finally falls asleep. The doctor says that Tylenol is okay to give him and he also recommended these teething tablets. They dissolve immediately upon putting them in his mouth and apparently help sooth the pain of teething. We've not tried that yet, but they're now on-hand and ready when we feel we need them. Needless to say this week has been full of adjusting to new things. It's like I'm getting a different baby (sort-of).

He's also enjoying his hands at other times too. Here's a few photos.
