Something to sink your...gums...into

Let's play 20 questions (or more, or less, we;ll have to see)! But I'm changing the rules a bit since, let's face it, I'm playing it by myself and a momma has to have time to eat too. The first few questions will be to filter and narrow things down quicker and each yes and no will have a further explanation.

Animal, vegetable or mineral?
- animal (person, really)

Action, being or other?
- other (but the reason of actions)

Learning, laughing, loving or living?
-living (it is a part of life we've all gone through)

Is this person living in the house
- yes

Is this person Alexiss
-yes

Does this other part of life we've all gone through involve discomfort?
-yes, but she's being a trooper

Does it involve a sour stomach?
-yes and no. It can.

Does this other part of life we've all gone through involve drooling?
- yes, and lots of it. The drool acts as a softening agent for babies gums

Does the cat need food?
- heh, sorry multitasking.. the answer is yes.

Is this person teething!?
-yes!

Do those rosy cheeks mean she's too hot or does it have to do with teething?
- Could be either. The way to check to see if she's too hot is to feel the back of her neck. The nape of the neck is the best way to check quickly if a baby is too hot or cold.

Will she get a fever?
-probably not. A low grade fever perhaps, but it's not common for a child to get a fever with teething unless something else is going on. That something else could be from teething, but it's not the actual act of teething that causes the temperature.

Can we see her teeth!?
-no, teething can take many months from first drool to first tooth. Teething is different than actually cutting a tooth, although I find people think the two go hand in hand in short order, facts are that teething can take up the first three years of life and that from first drool (3 months) through to first tooth can be months (first tooth usually shows up at 4 to 7 months old)!

was that 20? .... nope 13! We did it in 14! Yay me! Now let's see if I can feed the cat, brush my teeth and eat for the rest of the time. I promise to ask 7 more questions of myself to make it fair.
