HI TOOTHFAIRY!






Mama, Papa, Look oh! I have a tooth coming out! Uh-uh! 
















Teething:


Gabb was 6 months when we first noticed his unusual  irritability & cranky moods. He always bite on things that he holds, and seems so gigil on everything he grasped.  Plus the heavy saliva, as in TL (tulo-laway babe) most of the time. His comfort zone - pacifier & teether, which Warvie & I thought he cannot survive for a day without. He loves his pacifier so much that he almost chew & swallow it, with a gigil act, which makes him look cute. (except for the unusual flow of saliva, TL kung TL ang peg nya,haha). Our pedia said that it was the teething stage for Gabb, all the symptoms expect for his light fever. While it is a  hearsay from the old folks that babies usually get fever when they are teething, our pedia contradicts it by explaining to us  that  the growing teeth has nothing to do with the fever, or vice-versa, it is caused by another viral infection. But not a serious case for children. 

She recommended us to apply XYLOGEL, a natural teething oral gel for kids, with xylitol which helps relieve teething pain & discomfort, heal inflamed gums & mouth sores prevent otitis media. 


At first, Gabb doesn't welcome the application & of Xylogel on his teeth & gums, but after he tasted it, (maybe he thought it was some kind of candy or jelly ace) he wanted to have more gel in his mouth.
This really helps to soothe him & put him to sleep at night when this teething occurs.


Anyway those pics above were taken when we attended Iel's 1st bday party ( a child from the neigborhood) & was Gabb's 1st partey appearance. The theme was Mickey Mouse & it took time to look for an outfit in the mall, but couldn't find a Mickey outfit that would fit him & I was running out of time, so here is how Gabb looks like.      
Im not so sure if it's a Mickey Mouse look that turned out, but I guess he looks more of a clown. HAHA!
I love yah Baby!  I will be your tooth fairy & I am looking forward to your teeth completion! LOL
