So far, there have been few similiarites between Ben and Laurel. Personality-wise, they are both pretty happy kids (thanking my lucky stars that I escaped colic. I don't think I would have handled colic well at all). But in everything else, they are really different - sleeping, eating, being - different. (Which briefly sidetracks me to say one of the best things about having a second kid is that while it turns out that everything that you thought you did great with #1 was really just the way #1 was, this also means that everything that you thought maybe you did wrong and screwed him up forever was also just the way #1 was)
ramble, ramble, I know. This brings me to the point of this post.
We've found another similiarity, and it is teething.
Turns out the genetics are strong in this family for rough teething experiences. Laurel popped tooth #1 right at 7 months, which is exactly when Ben got his first tooth. Sleep has been crummy since a couple of weeks before that, and has not gotten better, and there's still no sign of tooth #2.
