Well it has been pretty tough to coax a smile out of Liana on this festive day. She has teeth coming in from every direction.. new bottom teeth, big nasty molars, and who knows what else. She is miserable. Her teeth hurt. Eating is tough. She chews her food, and the just holds it in her mouth and spits it out. So she is hungry. Soar and hungry. And all around cranky.

I gave her infant tylenol, and tried to rub oragel. She HATES oragel. And she was quite angry at me for trying to apply it to her sensative little mouth.

But in spite of the crankiness, I joined the other moms in dressing the kids up and joining in the festivities. And ultimately, a good time was had by all.
