E gets really cranky and clingy. He cries big, real tears whenever I set him down or move away from him (to the bathroom, to the kitchen, whatever). He tugs on his ears, his cheeks flush, and he's up a lot at night. And he nurses like crazy. Constantly. Today he figured out he can tug my (nursing) tank aside and latch on, and it was constant. Like several times an hour constant. My poor girls feel used and abused!

He had a pedi appointment several weeks ago and she told us his molars were starting to swell and that we should probably expect him to start teething in about a month--which is about now. I hope that's what this is and not some new behavioral tic!

(And I definitely need to not let him yank my top aside to nurse. I don't want to be THAT mom with THAT kid. I don't often nurse outside of the house, and I felt bad for him today, but I don't want it to become a habit.)
