Anyone with any experience with children has told us that the eye teeth are the hardest ones for kids to bear, harder than the first ones they are wholly unprepared for (which started on a plane ride, by the way), harder than the molars that are the size of grapefruit in her tiny little mouth. And in true Kitten-fashion, she is getting all four eye teeth at the same time.
This is making for some fairly rough days on the homefront. She throws tantrums at the drop of a hat. She is having trouble sleeping. And she's in a ton of pain and is chewing on everything. Things have been pretty rough all this week, but have been getting a little worse each day, until today she melted down at about 5:00 and couldn't pull it together. Poor kid. Poor me.
Now she's drugged and sleeping and hopefully we will have a better weekend. Through preventive pharmaceuticals.

Yay for pharmaceuticals! If cold helps, you might want to try chilling/freezing a banana and let her gnaw on that (and slime up everything she touches, but hey, it might keep her busy in her high chair for 10 minutes). Never tried it with Pumpkin, but I don't remember hers being that horrible. Best of luck.
