we’re almost certain that odin has begun teething. he doesn’t seem to be drooling as much lately ( although not as much drool is still a lot ), but we can see small white spots on his lower gums where one might expect to see his central and lateral incisors appear. presumably the white spots are little baby teeth pushing close to the surface of his gums.

we have a one a plastic teething ring that we keep in the fridge for emergency use which does an adequate but not stupendous job of soothing him; so we thought we try freezing a washcloth and were amazed to find that it was nearly instantaneous effective.

perhaps he liked the changing texture of the washcloth as the ice melted compared to the smooth plastic teether? or maybe he just likes sucking on frozen washcloths.
