The realities of Bella

We are not happy.

Bella is 2 1/2 years old. She currently only has 2 upper teeth and 4 lower teeth. Being that she has low muscle tone all over her body, I wonder if that also affects how her teeth come in? But to say her teeth are coming in slowly is an understatement.

She is currently working on a lower tooth. And has been working on this same tooth for the past 3 weeks. I am pretty sure we can blame the teething for the bouts of diarrhea, and the sporadic feeding/drinking that have been off and on for the last 3 weeks. Not to mention the double ear infection and the waking up 3 times a night coughing because she has so much saliva that pools in her mouth while she sleeps, which has been happening for about a week now.

So needless to say, we are really hoping this tooth comes through sometime soon. And very excited, no sarcasm here, for the rest of her teeth to come in, which she will probably be working on until she is 5 years old.
