Teething and a new taste

Elijah is teething. I am almost sure of it. Yesterday he starts screaming uncontrolably, not something he does usually. I tried everything then felt his gums, yep. Mom felt teeth. We tired ice wrapped in a wash cloth and that lasted for a min. Then we tried the great suggestion from our friend Diane, a frozen banana. We just happened to have one in the freezer. Mom wasn't happy to introduce solids early but she was willing to try anything. Elijah started smiling the biggest smile as soon as the banana taste touched his lips. The cold frozen part and the tasty banana part was just the right trick. I think Elijah wondered why we had been holding out. Put bananas on his keeper list. I will try to take pictures next time!
