A Breakthrough!

Mason has been crazy cranky this week and we know he is teething, but he has really ramped it up. He doesn't so much cry as whine and then screams very loudly and then returns to whining. I checked his gums every day and there was nothing, there was not even swelling. Well, two nights ago I finally got the big payoff, the tip of a tooth breaking through his gums! He's still kind of cranky and refuses to sleep more than 20 minutes during the day. He is now sleeping 12 hours at night though so I guess I shouldn't complain. My question is this...will he be this cranky every time he gets a new tooth? We looked it up and he will get a total of 20 teeth. That's a lot of crying, yo! Here he is in happier times...
