Like father like daughter

Reilly and I are sharing a common problem today: pain.

For Reilly, it is teething, once again. I'm not sure what is coming in now, but the telltale drool and irritability is back with a vengeance. I'm guessing it's her eye teeth.

For me, it is a sore right knee and an equally sore left ankle. Last night I came out of retirement and joined Team TBD for a night of 8 on 8 men's league soccer. I'm proud to say that I scored the first goal. I am less proud to say that I was so out of shape that I had to play goalie for the whole second half.

Our team ended up winning 3-2, which places us at 1-0 on the season. Stay tuned for a report on next Monday's game. For now, it's Motrin for me, infant Motrin for Reilly.

Teething, Round V

Typically, Reilly isn't that interested in being held. She likes to roam free and explore her environment. However, when she is teething, she becomes cranky and clingy. I submit the following photo as evidence:

Damn those molars!

Teething, Round IV

Reilly is currently teething in her molars. One of the symptoms of teething is extreme irritability. Yesterday, as Reilly threw herself to the ground in a fit of crying, I turned to Shawn and said, "Is it possible that Reilly is entering her terrible twos?"

Another symptom of teething is excessive drooling. Reilly has been drooling to the nth degree lately, to the extent that the saliva dripping from her mouth resembles a leaky faucet. For those who think this is an exaggeration, I considered writing "a wide-open firehose."

Donna (Reilly's grandma) was recently a witness to the power of Reilly's drooling, as our daughter soaked through three shirts in a little over an hour. After awhile, we just gave up and let her go shirtless, to conserve her onesies.

I submit the following photo as evidence:

Eating 102: Intro to Teething Biscuit

Reilly is now the proud owner of two top teeth, bringing her total up to four. To celebrate her accomplishment, we rewarded our daugther with a teething biscuit.
