Teeth? At Three Months?

Scott has started to drool a bit more lately. This is often a sign of teething (or so I hear). The other day we noticed something whitish showing through his normally pink gums. I imagine this is also a sign of teething.

Everything that we'd read about baby development said that the teeth come in at about the six-month mark. Perhaps we have a little carnivore on our hands or something.

Based on the experience that we've had selling our guest bed and an extra set of tires, I can say that Kijiji is a better place to sell tires, and craigslist is a better place to sell beds. We posted identical ads on each site and it was remarkable how all the responses regarding the bed came in from craigslist, and vice-versa with the tires. Within 4 hours of posting the ads we had buyers for both, which was refreshing after the lengthy campaign to sell the car.

The car finally sold this weekend, to the guy who had been interested in it the very first day. It took a week of negotiations, a week of repairs, and then a week of him being out of town before it was all finalized. On the bright side, the delay made it easy to ask for a closing date this Saturday -- the day we pack up the truck.

On Sunday, we'll pack the whole family into the loaded truck, drive to church, and then head out down the road. We'll be in the truck for the next five days, driving eight hours per day.

What a week for Scott to start teething.

Your sister, A, started getting teeth at around 4 months. It seems that babies don't know how to read the books about their growth and development so they just decide on their own when to teethe, crawl, walk, etc.

We just sold Grandpa A's travel trailer yesterday. KSL radio has free classified ads online. We put the ad online at noon yesterday and had 2 calls within ten minutes and had it sold by 4 pm that afternoon. We had about 8 calls in that time. It was nuts around here for a little while.

I hope you are going to blog your way across Canada--the continuing adventures of D and R and S.

A couple of my kids have had early teeth too - about four months -- but then we're trying to raise over-achievers.

Good luck with the big move. Does this mean five days of no blog? I don't think I can handle that!

I plan to do daily updates each night of the trip, since most hotels provide internet connections. Hopefully, there will be very few incidents to report, just a lot of pictures.
