Aiden now has his top two molars! The bottom two came in about a week ago. When he gets teeth, he gets a lot at one time. They seem to be coming in sets of four. This is his 3rd set and now he has a total of 12 teeth. A full set for a toddler is 20 teeth and the set is usually complete by age 3. (baby teeth)
Teething for Aiden hasn't been bad at all. Especially the recent molars. I could tell that they were coming because he constantly had his finger in his mouth, but he hasn't been cranky much at all. When he was younger, he was fussy around the times his teeth were coming in, but now it's not a big deal.
He does great at brushing his teeth and lately he has shown interest in doing it himself. I will brush and then let him hold on to the toothbrush. He mostly just chews on it (which probably feels good) but at least he's getting the idea. He loves the taste of his toothpaste and loves to suck on the brush. We know that healthy teeth are important and we are trying to start the habit early!
It won't be long before Jeff will need to throw on an extra steak on the grill for Aiden, Aiden would probably say "OH YEA" when he got ready to eat it. Aiden is a sweet, smart, and cute little toddler. He is so much fun to be with at this age.
