That time does the Chinese man go to the dentist?

Toof Hurty.

     Well, it has begun.  The long gruesome process of Johnathan getting his teeth.  It started a few days ago...at least that's when I noticed the signs.  He was running his tongue over his lower gums over and over for long periods of time...well ok basically if he wasn't eating or sleeping (and even sometimes then) his tongue was running over his gums.  Then he started sucking on his arm, something he'd never done before.  Sure he'd suck on his hands when he was hungry, but he was sucking on his arm hard enough to leave marks.  Yesterday I double checked and ran my finger over his gums and, sure enough, there was a rough spot right where he'd get his lower right front tooth.  Needless to say, we've been loving having his pacifier.  I've been sticking it in the freezer and then giving it to him.
    If any readers have any tips that have helped them or people they know get through teething, please feel free to share. :)
