Teething - AHHHHH!

Okay, so this teething phase is not much fun. Addison is very fussy, she is drooling over everything and she is chewing on EVERYTHING!

I happen to notice this week that her crib has teeth marks on it now.

This picture only shows a few of the numerous teeth marks that are now on her crib.

Daniel and I have been trying to come up with a way to stop her from teething on her crib. The Internet offers a few different products that can go over crib railings to protect them, but they looked so simple, we thought we might try to make something ourselves.

Then last night it hit me. Why don't we tie her bumper around the railing. Now this fixes the problems with her chewing on her front railing, but not the back, because the back is solid and has no place to tie the bumper to. Then I realized that if we just lower her mattress again, then she will not be able to reach the top of the back railing. We need to lower her bed anyway, because she is at a height now were she could climb out if she really wanted to.





So we have solved another baby dilemma and this one didn't even cost us any money. YEAH!
