Aw, poor baby!! Not the teething. He's so small. Good luck with your trip to Texas!! You did mention he is a very long baby. From what the dentist told me was that the taller they are the faster they teeth. My 7yr old is very tall for her age and she had her first teeth by the time she was 4 months and they started falling off by the time she was 5 yrs. old and the dentist told me it was b/c of her height. Make sure to apply teething gel onto his gums so that he can relax a little!! Poor baby!!

Awwww...sorry to hear he's teething...My little guy is starting drooling a bit but I read somewhere in an email that it is normal at time and it doesn't necessarily mean they are teething until possible the next two or three weeks...My first son was teething early tho he had his first two teeth in by 3 or 4 months old.
