I swear we think we have this parenting thing down... then all of the sudden "bang" you get suckered punched in the face!!! Jake has been drooling like a sieve ever since he's been 3 months.. He's has 8 teeth it seems like FOREVER!! But when he started to wake up at night a 3 am and not wanting to get back to sleep.. we were BAFFLED and EXHAUSTED!!! It took me a couple of days to realize that it's his friggen 12 month molars and a heapin' dose of Tylenol throughout the day and night would help his crankiness. Whewww, everything is solved...NOT!!! Then he started to get lethargic and didn't want me to put him down.. he also spiked a fever.. but I attributed all this to this teeth.. WRONG AGAIN!!! cause he started to projectile vomit all over... and the direction of his vomit always landed on me!! So, at this point I am about to start licking windows for I am just totally and utterly at my wits end!!! FYI.. I also thought this would be the BEST time for me to switch his formula!!!! I'm such a rookie!!! WTH was I thinking!!! So I called our pediatrician and fortunately he doesn't have an ear infection but he is fighting a cold and getting his molars.. and we are now back on his usual formula.. last night he only woke up at 2:30 for he had a wet diaper. I changed him, gave him his usual formula, and some more Tylenol and straight back to bed until 7:00 am!! The moral of this story is that I learned some lessons the very hard way - Keep It Simple Stupid!!!
